Reception

G. Allen Johnson of the San Francisco Chronicle said that "[the film is] a comedy that tries too hard to be funny, therefore it isn't".[4]

Sean Axmaker of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer said that "[the film's] unusual cultural details add a little color to the usual romantic turbulence, but it's otherwise as rote as its American counterparts".[5]
