B*A*P*S (1997) is a movie that I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows two over the top females who head to LA for their big break. Instead of landing their big break they are observed by a man who believes he can use them to scam an old man out of his money. Instead, their personas might be just what the old man needs to get his swing back...

This movie is directed by Robert Townsend (Hollywood Shuffle) and stars Halle Berry (Swordfish), Natalie Desselle Reid (How to be a Player), Martin Landau (North by Northwest), Bernie Mac (Guess Who), Anthony Johnson (Friday) and Darrel Heath (Woo).

The storyline for this picture is actually more creative than you may expect. Halle Berry delivers an underrated performance and her dance moves in this are legendary. I will also never be able to stop laughing at their teeth, hairstyles and attire in this. Bernie Mac was a tremendous add to this film and hilarious, but the dance auditions will always be the highlight.

Overall this is an average to slightly above average addition to the comedic genre that is worth a viewing. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.

I love a nice, goodhearted movie. I do love Halle Berry. I positively love Halle Berry in any manner appearing in a nice, goodhearted movie. I especially love one where Halle Berry is the very main star. No surprise, I absolutely love B*A*P*S, not just for Halle Berry, but also for its goodhearted nature.

B*A*P*S is one of the best dedications to fans of Halle, and this feature is all hers; Berry is so dreamy, and B*A*P*S itself is very dreamlike. Halle gives a vivacious star performance in this gracious tale of rising from rags to riches. In her portrayal of Nisi, Berry preciously provides us the purest glimpse into the real Halle, more true than any other of her numerous roles. Good graces, Halle, you are so sweet, and so strong, and so timeless, so gorgeous, and so funny.

B*A*P*S intends to be funny, and it is, but more importantly it strives to be decent. It succeeds. There are not too many complaints here. Thanks Troy Byer, you, as well as Natalie Desselle, Ian Richardson, and Martin Landau supply generous support. Robert Townsend, a job well done. What a low rating, 3. I feel endlessly inclined to give B*A*P*S a 10, but I'll decidedly decline and give it a true rating of a 6, all to the lovely Halle Berry.

B*A*P*S 2, maybe, just maybe?

Just watched this on USA. Not bad. It was very lighthearted, and to see Halle with a gold tooth was a trip.

Not pretentious at all - accomplished what they wanted to - Makes you smile.
