Reception



The TV critic from 'The Age' called the film "wonderfully whimsical. A sort of Aussie 'Heartburn', it combines liberal helpings of Jewish philosophy and humour, off-beat animation, accelerated footage and delicious satire."[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1300&dat=19880205&id=6L1YAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VukDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1953,2234651 Barbara Hooks, TV review 'The Age' 5 February 1988 p 12] accessed 20 June 2013
