The film has a pleasant spirit and lively dialogue, and what's more, seems to be coming from a specific cultural and geographical location.

It wrings almost no laughs or tears from this seemingly idiot-proof premise, taking 45 yawn-filled minutes to introduce its collection of severely stereotyped characters, whose conflicts then play out in excruciatingly predictable fashion.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
If there is a single phrase that should strike fear in the hearts of innocent moviegoers, it is 'writer-director- producer-star.'
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Fresh
A lighthearted comedy about the outing of a bride-to-be and her five-year relationship with her maid of honor.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten
Suffers from a malady common to tiny indies of the let's-put-on-a-show variety -- it strains for irrepressibly nutty, but lands squarely in annoying.
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
