Reception

edit

Variety called the film "A rollicking, trashy and frequently quite clever ode to the eternal search for validation and self-esteem by ordinary people with no discernible talent".[2] TV guide was quite more negative, stating, "This ultra-low-budget camp-fest aspires to John Waters levels of audaciousness, but its stoner humor proves closer to Cecil B. Demented than Pink Flamingos."[3]
