Reviews
Ryan Cracknell wrote in the Apollo Movie Guide that the comedy was only funny for the first half hour - after that the jokes would be repeated too often. The pathetic way in which Danny Hoch played his part and similar pathetic dialogues would still make you laugh. There are numerous cameo appearances by the well-known rappers.
