Critical reception
The 'Radio Times' gave the film two out of five stars, writing, "competent performances fail to add sparkle to the tired plot", while 'myreviewer.com' wrote, "whilst you wont laugh aloud, itll certainly raise a warm smile. Its also a great little time-capsule to what looks and feels like a completely different world."
