CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert

Endearing and vulgar in about the right proportion. The movie doesn't exactly work, but sometimes when a car won't start, it's still fun to look at the little honey gleaming in the driveway.

The film's good humor is often betrayed by its low-budget roots, however, as though it couldn't afford to be more original or ambitious than its premise.

Washington Post: Desson Thomson

A leisurely paced, subtly funny, though verbally crude chamber piece.
