Critical reception
'Halliwell's Film Guide' comments that it is "one of the star's last vehicles, not too bad at all, but without the sweet smell of success"; while 'TV Guide' gave the film two out of four stars, and noted, "Five screenwriters collaborated on the script, churning out a lively, witty programmer".
