Reviews

The film was reviewed by Variety, and described as "a silly farce with few amusing moments and many more boring ones". The San Francisco Chronicle noted that "the film goes as far as a non-pornographic film can go in depicting sexuality" but "Eventually you catch on that the film isn't really making fun of itself so much as making fun of the audience for watching."
