It screened at a film festival in New Hampshire and had a video release in Hungary.
Helen Martin in New Zealand film, 1912-1996 says it "aims to be a black, off-the-wall, action-packed comedy drama. It inverts expectations (old women buy condoms, a wino drinks out of a wine glass) with a heavy hand and the pace drags." Leigh Paatsch in The Age joked that it had set back Grant Dodwell's chances of fame on the big screen.
