Reception

Geoff Berkshire of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote that it "actually attempts to be an emotionally resonant relationship tale, but lives down to its title by delivering nothing but inane comedy and insufferable drama."[2]

Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review and wrote that it "proves so cryptically scripted and dramatically under-powered that genre characterizations almost fail to do it justice."[3]
