The film received mixed reviews. Torontoist deemed it the "most recognizably Canadian comedy ever".[3] Greg Quill of the Toronto Star panned the production as "a fiasco, a flame-out for sure, but an epic failure". The Globe and Mail praised the film for having "overwhelming ambition, hyperbole, pathos, satire and politics with clever writing, skilled acting, great voices and compelling music".[4]
