Reception
editNathan Rabin of The A.V. Club wrote that the film "tends to shy away from broad, universally known Hollywood stereotypes in favor of sharply drawn characters", and is "far more compelling than most films of its ilk."[1]
Dick Fiddy of RadioTimes rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Rewarding and constantly amusing, this is an independent comedy that deserved greater exposure than straight-to-video obscurity."[2]
Leonard Klady of Variety wrote that Mandt has "concocted a tight little morality tale that pays off with an ironic twist".[3]
TV Guide called the film "merely likable" and "seldom memorable."[4]
