Reception

criticized the script, "nothing more than a pretext to slip in a series of old avanspettacolo-style duets", with Abatantuono "talking nonstop for an hour and a half, like a radio left on" e Vanzina "following the Mattoli method: sets up the camera, calls the shot, and lets the actors run free to improvise their performances".
