Critic Reviews

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
O relacionamento entre os personagens de Sarrazin e Scott é uma boa base para o filme, mas este se enfraquece com a subtrama romāntica envolvendo Sue Lyon e desmorona de vez em seu terceiro ato que busca o drama.

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Pleasant, off-beat comedy drama.

Shane Burridge, rec.arts.movies.reviews
In keeping with their shifty con tricks, the characters stay on the move
