Reception
In Variety, Lael Loewenstein called the film a "humorous tale of difference and tolerance" and said "[w]inning, intimate performances" by the female stars "anchor the film and help smooth over its occasional lapses in logic."[2] He said the main characters are well developed and neither totally likeable nor always hateful. He described production values as "sharp".[2]
