Reception

edit

Norman Gidney of Film Threat rated the film 3 stars out of 4 and wrote that the "respect it has for everyone’s story" makes the film "work".[2] Simi Horwitz of Film Journal International wrote that while the film has "self-conscious quirkiness" and "wink-wink moments", it has "unexpected charm, appeal, even depth".[3] The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film "has a hard time getting beyond its ostentatious quirks and getting to the point; for some viewers who catch what will likely be a very short run, though, that aimlessness will be its main virtue."[1]

Chelsea Phillips-Carr of PopMatters gave the film a rating of 4/10, praising Annenberg's performance while calling the film "clunky" and "unenjoyable".[4] Katie Walsh of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the story is "thin and clichéd, relying on tired gags and stereotypes for humor."[5]
