Reception
The movie has a 15% rating on the aggregate film review site Rotten Tomatoes. The New York Times said the film was "predictably dumb", but praised Mark-Paul Gosselaar's performance, saying, "Mr. Gosselaar is so good, however, that his performance as Cooper sometimes overrides the film's adolescent tone." The film was made on a $14 million budget, and grossed $15,064,946 domestically, barely turning a profit at the box office. The movie has since gone out of print.
