The film premiered at the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival. [3]
David Rooney of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, “Sappy, sentimental and lacking bite even in its satire of something as lampoonable as television gameshows, this toothless comedy-drama about a bereaved father and son's difficult path toward reconciliation is utterly vanilla tube fodder.” [2]
Allan Hunter of Screen International gave the film a mixed review and wrote, “An uneasy mixture of broad comedy and sticky sentiment, it is more likely to charm general audiences than please critics.” [1]
