Bad, amateur, poor and silly.

The story offers nothing original.

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.

A horribly failed satire that should be avoided by all.
New York Times

It's good for a half-hour of humor before the fun starts to dissolve.
July 21, 2009
A string of hugely unfunny shenanigans ensue.

Apallingly bad. Robert Townsend's attempt at satirizing black culture is far off the mark.
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.

They both do good work, but it's Desselle who steals the film and grabs the major laughs.
