Reviews

Derek Tse wrote on Jam! Movies , the film is not particularly funny for a comedy. There are only a few successful gags. The length of the film seems much longer than it is. The representations are good - especially those by Ratner, Berkley and Neville. That wouldn't be enough to save the film, however.

Susan Walker wrote in the Toronto Star that the film was touching in some places, but it didn't touch the weird side.
