Reception
Box office
The film had a brief run in cinemas.[3] However Tim Burstall in The Bulletin called the film's commercial fate a "total disaster".[4]
Critical
The Age wrote "laboured 'dirty' jokes, inane pratfalls, mistimed gags... it is all unbelievably juvenile and makes Alvin Purple look like Buster Keaton."[5]
David Stratton called the film "cheap and amateurish".[6]
Brian McFarlane called it "possibly the worst Australian film ever made... astonishingly inept."[7]
