Critical reception
The film received mixed to average reviews from critics. The New York Times critic praised the director DeMonaco for "adroitly weaving violence, absurdity and sentiment, even an environmental consciousness, into a modest, appealing fable", while the reviewer of The New York Daily News blamed him for "wasting a strong cast in silly roles".
