Reception

edit

Leslie Felperin of The Guardian rated the film 3 stars out of 5, writing that "it's hard not to be a little impressed with the fact that the film-makers pulled this off on a reportedly teensy budget."[2] Davide Abbatescianni of Cineuropa wrote that the film is an "uplifting, entertaining (and family-friendly) piece, whose strongest assets are its wit and the presence of its two charismatic lead actors."[3]

Film Ireland called it a "great escapist movie that packs a punch."[1] Luke Maxwell of the Dublin Inquirer called it "sweet-natured and, at times, a little heavy-handed", and wrote that "its two leads work so well together that it doesn't really matter what the script has them doing."[4]
