Reception

[edit]

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..."[1]

TV Guide gave the film a negative review, describing the screenplay as "frenetic but weak-kneed and almost totally implausible."[2]

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."[3]
