Reception



Li Yiyun of 'Lianhe Zaobao' rated the film three-and-a-half stars for entertainment and two-and-a-half stars for art. Lin Zengyin of 'Lianhe Wanbao' rated the film three stars out of five. Ngiam Ying Lan of 'The Business Times' rated the film C, writing "It's understandable that box-office receipts is the foremost consideration for Neo, easily Singapore's most prolific filmmaker. But what's regrettable is this run-of-the-mill superficial layering of toilet humour and glib coffeeshop chatter, with no payoff in sight. The ending is so lamentably literal one wonders if Neo ever gets tired of rehashing what's already been flogged to death in countless classroom debates and periodic public controversies."
