Reception

The film has a 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on twelve reviews.

Robert Koehler of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Carlisle’s film is designed with a certain suburban flatness that at times perfectly reflects Bob’s inner deadness, though not his periodic spurts of sarcastic rage."

Adam Keleman of Slant Magazine awarded the film one star out of four and wrote, "Playing the misogynistic, bar-hopping, impulsive, titular irritant, Campbell’s thespy histrionics come off as truly labored..."

Tyler Foster of DVD Talk gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "Half a good film, mediocre video, dry audio and no extras, and yet I still can't bring myself to slap a skip it onto this release."
