While his parents are out of town, enterprising Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro) rents out the Banks' mansion to the singing group Bell Div DeVoe (Ronnie DeVoe, Ricky Bell and Michael Bivins) for a music-video shoot. At the end of the session, the house is in a shambles, but the kids are certain that they can clean up the place before mom and dad get home. Unfortunately, Philip (James Avery) and Vivian (Janet Hubert-Whitten) arrive back in town earlier than expected! Bell Div DeVoe performs "Do Me". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
In-between rappin' numbers by groups like Run-DMC and The Fat Boys, an almost unnoticeable plot unfolds as manager Russell (Blair Underwood) desperately looks for funding to press more records for Run-DMC's first hit. This gets him into deep water when he borrows from the wrong man and then is left behind after his performers hit the charts and are off on a better life. But all is not lost, after more rap and rock by everyone, the clan returns with salvation at hand. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
