The film features several celebrity cameos, including LL Cool J, Leon Robinson, Heavy D, and Dennis Rodman.

Denise "Nisi" (Halle Berry) and Tamika "Mickey" (Natalie Desselle) work at a soul food diner in Decatur, Georgia.

On the plane ride there, Nisi reads a book on etiquette and she and Mickey discuss their new hairstyles, which are so tall they block the movie projector.

Although Nisi does not land the dancing girl role, a man named Antonio spots them at the auditions and offers them the same amount of money to be in a different music video and invites them to a Beverly Hills mansion.

Once they arrive, they learn about the real reason they were brought there, which was for Nisi to pretend to be the granddaughter of a woman named Lily, whom the aging owner of the house Mr. Blakemore (Martin Landau), once loved.

Mr. Blakemore's lawyer arrives and read's his last will and testament, in which he calls the girls his "B.A.P.S", short for Black American Princesses, and gives them some portion of his wealth.

[8] Roger Ebert gave the film a rare no-stars rating, calling it "jaw-droppingly bad and stupid, a movie so misconceived I wonder why anyone involved wanted to make it.".

He described it as "an embarrassing comedy", said that Martin Landau was "looking very uncomfortable in a ridiculous role" in it, and said that "the two women play into shameless stereotypes in a film without a single laugh.

"[13] Lisa Alspector of the Chicago Reader called it "absurdly broad comedy infused with classic emotions and set in sumptuously detailed environments".
