Reviews
Derek Adams wrote in the magazine TimeOut London, the film is a romantic ensemble comedy that is smart, but never better than halfway done. He had a lot of energy, Croghan prove, however, that the rotation of the comedies do not go as fast as those of Woody Allen would act. His only real surprise was how long it would last until the end of fixed pairs would form.
The editors of Channel 4 Film wrote that the " send " in the locations Sydney is moved film offers a " well- observed, sharp " script and a "nice view " about the problems of adults.
