The film has a 42% rating at Rotten Tomatoes and a metascore of 43 at Metacritic, mixed to poor reviews . The New York Times described it as "a standard - issue fish - out - of - water comedy" which "seems happily, deliberately second - rate, as if its ideal audience consisted of weary airline passengers". </P>
