Reception

In a review for Out, Justin W. Ravitz said that the film was drowned by histrionics and featured characters with "sitcom personalities".[1] Referring to the storyline of a lesbian leaving her girlfriend for a heterosexual lifestyle, he said that the film was "almost as insufferable as the real thing."[1]
