Plot: In this broad fish-out-of-water comedy, Nisi (Halle Berry) and Mickey (Natalie Desselle) are African-American women with two ambitions -- marry rich men who will give them lots of money, and open the world's first combination hair salon and soul food restaurant. However, eligible bachelors and business opportunities are in short supply in Decatur, Georgia, so when Nisi hears rapper Heavy D is auditioning dancers in Los Angeles for an upcoming video and concert tour, the pair hit the road for California. They fail the audition but are approached by a man named Antonio (Luigi Amodeo) with a business proposition. Antonio is the chauffeur for Mr. Blakemore (Martin Landau), a millionaire in poor health. As a young man, Mr. Blakemore was in love with a black maid who worked in his household; Antonio and Blakemore's nephew Isaac (Jonathan Fried) think Nisi bears a resemblance to the girl Blakemore once loved, so they offer her a hefty payment plus room and board to pose as the granddaughter of Blakemore's lost love. Nisi and Mickey believe that this ruse is intended to make Blakemore feel better, but in fact Isaac wants to get his hands on his uncle's fortune, and he hopes that Nisi's presence will make him easier to manipulate. Meanwhile, Nisi and Mickey look like a hurricane that hit a cut-rate clothing store, so manservant Manley (Ian Richardson) teaches them social graces and gives them advice on how to dress. In time, Manley and Mr. Blakemore become friends with Nisi and Mickey; the men learn to be less stuffy and enjoy life, while the ladies become more respectable. B.A.P.S. stands for Black American Princesses. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

This is one of my favorite movies!!!! The hair, the lingo, the attitude everything is just great! The acting is superb! Halle looks absolutely divine (even w/ Gold Teeth LOL!) To all those that don't like this film and are talking about bad stereotypes, I would advise them to come off of their high horse and look at the movie for what it really is....A MOVIE!!! This movie is meant to entertain not to give you the biography of black and white people... ITS GREAT and if you're having a bad day...watch this and you'll be sure to feel 100% better (YEEEEE-UUUUUUHHHH!!!! LOL!)

Came in excellent condition as promoted on the website. Also arrived well within the specified time. Would not hesitate to purchase another DVD thru Amazon. BAPS is a very funny, sweet DVD about friendship and dreams. All the actors do a wonderful job and Halle Berry is hilarious.

This is the best movie of comedy, love and dreams coming true

Sure a lot of people would think that this movie is silly, but if you look between the scenes it is filled with what I believe is great acting on Halle Berry and Martin Landau's part. It shows comedy that I think is hillarious. Betrayal, honesty, love and care.

I have always loved this movie and always will. I always cry in the scene when Mr. Blakemore dies. But then the tears are replaced quickly with laughter and happiness.

I cam watch it every week.

If you really like Halle Berry and her acting expertise, then you will love this one.

She's Great!!!

Set it Off

This is a great movie. It is sad,funny, and action packed. It's a story of a group of "sisters for life" who are fed up with being screwed by the system and decide to take things in their own hands. They go on a rampade robbing banks hoping for a better tomorrow. I recommend this movie to everyone. I dare you not to love it.
