Reception



In 'Variety', Lael Loewenstein called the film a "humorous tale of difference and tolerance" and said "[w]inning, intimate performances" by the female stars "anchor the film and help smooth over its occasional lapses in logic." He said the main characters are well developed and neither totally likeable nor always hateful. He described production values as "sharp".
