Reception
Critical reception
Variety's Todd McCarthy described the film as a "spirited but unlikely romantic romp" that treats serious issues with discordant frivolity. While praising the film's imaginative genre play, sprightly writing, and performances, he notes that it struggles to effectively address moral complexities, leading to a disjunction between its comic style and serious undertones. He suggests that the film's virtues may not lead to major theatrical success but could find a promising audience on cable and video platforms.
