Reception

[edit]

Josh Bell from Crooked Marquee said, "Stars Lawrence and Cope, who wrote the screenplay themselves along with Jen Bashian, have minimal chemistry, and only the late Anne Heche livens things up as Frankie's roommate’s eccentric mom. Somehow, even the dog acting is bad. Grade: C−".[3]
