Reception
Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the "disappointing" comedy film to weld "a hackneyed plotline to intermittently amusing perfs".
Casimiro Torreiro of El País concluded that the film "is a comedy as licitly ambitious as it is unfortunate and failed, as unbalanced on the inside as it is banal and pedestrian on the surface".
La Nación gave the film a 'bad' review, considering that "it is absolutely impossible to deduce what the makers of this Argentine-Spanish co-production wanted to aim for".
