Reception

DVDTalk's David Cornelius referred to the film as "a plotless, plodding comedy made on the cheap". Adam Jones from FILMINK said "With a muddled storyline and appalling character development, one can only hope that writer/director Rafael Riera isn't allowed near a movie camera again!" Other reviewers said "it seemed like a 12 year old spliced it together" and "the filmmaking and acting is shabby and rough at best".
