Reception

Scott Hamilton and Chris Holland of Radio Times awarded the film two stars out of five and wrote, "Never very funny, and the middle portion of the film drags terribly..."

Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "The film may wind up a loser, but Howell and Shawn are certainly winning."
