Reception

John Serba of Decider called the film "predictable" and wrote, "The framing device feels stapled on, like an afterthought, as if to give the story a little heft before it floats away on a raft of cliches. Tonally, it's just as unfocused, wavering from the amiable, upbeat goofiness of a light comedy to overemotive strings-of-snot-and-drool melodrama." [5]
