Reception
Vincent Canby of The New York Times gave the film a negative review, calling it "the sort of failed comedy that becomes increasingly difficult to watch as it proceeds."[1]
Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times also gave the film a negative review and wrote that it "means to soar and sing, but it’s blocky, awkward, forced."[2]
The Chicago Tribune also gave the film a negative review: "Johnson, in her first feature film, has turned out a wan romantic comedy whose screenplay is its downfall, a concoction containing more holes than laughs, more cliches than creativity."[6]
