Bad, amateur, poor and silly.
Variety
April 26, 2006
Formulaic and distastefully fake, Townsend's modern fairy tale unsuccessfuly tries to combine the premise of Pretty Woman with the formats of the fish-out-of-water and culture-collision.
January 01, 2000
A horribly failed satire that should be avoided by all.

They both do good work, but it's Desselle who steals the film and grabs the major laughs.
Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL)

Apallingly bad. Robert Townsend's attempt at satirizing black culture is far off the mark.
July 21, 2009
A string of hugely unfunny shenanigans ensue.
July 21, 2009
t's a celebration of bonds that are thicker than blood and demonstrates above all that fame-and-fortune fantasies can blur divisions of race and class as persuasively as they can exaggerate them.
New York Times

Not a great example of Halle Berry's talent.
January 26, 2006
You can see how the black, modern-day Pygmalion-type story could work, just, but not with this heap of cabbage leaves for a script, and not with such desperately goofy acting from Berry and Desselle.
April 09, 2005
The story offers nothing original.
January 01, 2000
Paying movie-goers deserve more, especially from someone who has previously shown signs of genuine comic aptitude.
