 Hicks stated that the film "has its moments, especially the bits by Guthrie and Cusack, who are gone almost before you realize who they are, and Doe demonstrates a natural acting ability as a disillusioned guy whose life is going nowhere.But the film just meanders pointlessly and some scenes are embarrassingly amateurish in their staging.It's like a home movie in some ways, and it's really not sharp-witted enough to attract anything more than a cult audience."
