Reception

[edit]

A reviewer for Consequence remarked that the film delivered the cheap look, dumb jokes and gross-out imagery which appeals to those with the taste of teenagers and for which Troma is known.[1] A reviewer for Dread Central said that the film provided horrible puns, disgusting gags and family fun.[2]
