Reception
Casimiro Torreiro of El País warned that "its coarse comic tone, its gutted humor, and its textbook patriarchalism make this film strictly inadvisable for sensible spirits".[6]
Jonathan Holland of Variety assessed that the "desperately unimaginative script is compensated for by cast's obvious determination to have a good time and thesps' marquee power".[2]
