The film received mixed reviews. Torontoist deemed it the "most recognizably Canadian comedy ever".[3] Greg Quill of the Toronto Star panned the production as "a fiasco, a flame-out for sure, but an epic failure".[1] The Globe and Mail praised the film for having "overwhelming ambition, hyperbole, pathos, satire and politics with clever writing, skilled acting, great voices and compelling music".[4]
