The film was reviewed by the television show At the Movies, on May 28, 1988. Roger Ebert called the film a "directorial mess", citing laborious scenes which serve only to set up plot points, some of which are never followed up on. Gene Siskel felt the premise had potential, but it was ruined by the lead character's relentless stupidity, and that the film did not take the sexual elements far enough. The critics gave the film two thumbs down. [3]
