Reception
Michael Wilmington of the 'Chicago Tribune' gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "This movie takes a talented and likable cast and an interesting working-class Italian-American background and then wastes them on sitcom scenes and side-of-the-mouth jokes."
Joe Leydon of 'Variety' also gave it a mixed review and wrote that "this small-budget indie comedy is too slight to make much impact on critics or ticketbuyers."
