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."[2]
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."[1]
