Reception

Brian Bertoldo of Film Threat wrote that the film is "wonderful" and "thoroughly entertaining".[2]

TV Guide wrote, "Grainy look and some stiff performances aside, it's a charmer."[3]

Dave Kehr of The New York Times called the film a "completely uncondescending, nearly letter-perfect re-creation of a late 60's-early 70's stoner comedy."[4]

Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle wrote that the film is "less than the sum of its dazed and confused parts."[5]
