Reception[edit]
Reviewing the film on Apocalypse Later at the Filmstock Film Festival, Hal C. F. Astell wrote, "It's obvious that Burleigh Smith dreams of being Woody Allen and he's clearly doing much better than most wannabes ... He's great at making a mild idiot out of himself without ever losing believability. This is a wonderful little short on many fronts."[10]
