Reviews
Henry Cabot Beck wrote on Film.com that the film would resemble a pornographic film without pornography and that it was as badly made as it gets.
Michael Dequina wrote on Mr. Brown's Movies that the concept of comedy would only last for five minutes of a film. He only found some of the narrator's comments amusing .
