Reception

[edit]

Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film is "so unconvincingly played and poorly crafted that it's checkmate from the first move."[2]

David Chute of LA Weekly wrote that "the film displays no zest or inventiveness whatsoever, though the actors manage, most of the time, to read their dialog audibly."[3]

Mark Keizer of Boxoffice rated the film 0.5 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film is "just too silly for any serious discussion other than how Sinha plans to live now that’s blown his life savings on a movie this bad."[1]
