Reception
Critical reception has been mixed. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of 40% based on twenty professional reviews.
Empire magazine concludes "Quirky and engaging with a script that keeps you on the ride." The review for the Daily Mirror's verdict was: "This engaging comedy feels like a stretched-out TV pilot, but is nicely put together, with enough laughs to make a refreshing change from usual Brit film fare."
The Irish Times described it as a "mildly diverting yarn" but was critical of the small scale of the film and the apparently limited budget. Peter Bradshaw reviewed the film for The Guardian and said that it was "the worst film of the week, a dire British comedy, to which the only honest response is to soil and then set fire to the Union flag in the foyer of your local cinema."

—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
