Reviews
Ryan Cracknell wrote in the Apollo Movie Guide that the film was "the epitome of wasted talent ." With the participation of the “ soon to be superstar ” Kirsten Dunst, James Caan , who was previously nominated for an Oscar , and “ one of the best supporting actors ” Luis Guzmán, one could expect something at least “ distantly entertaining ”. However, the plot is " lukewarm " and the film lacks a heart. " Weak " dialogues would largely replace the plot.

James Caan was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the DVD Exclusive Award (Video Premiere Award) in 2001.
