    Reception[edit]

    The film received mixed reviews upon release.

    Lee Hazell of VultureHound.cok felt that the low budget and film style lacked discipline and production quality.[4] George Heymont of The Huffington Post felt it had strong comedic moments and was cleverly written.[5] Drew Hunt of the Chicago Reader wrote: The cliché dialogue, stereotypical characters, and cheesy, G-rated humor belong in a sitcom.[6]
