Reception

Robert Koehler of Variety gave the film a negative review, describing it as "weak and banal."

Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Unfortunately, the film also shares that most common of mainstream flaws, a malnourished script."

Doug Brunell of Film Threat gave the film a positive review and wrote, "This is the real deal, and it is perfect for people tired of the clichés and Hollywood-perfect endings."
