Reception
Godfrey Cheshire of Variety called the film an "impressively assured and surprisingly pro debut" from Nitzberg, writing that he "combines a well-developed sardonic sense and some truly inspired casting choices to fashion a redneck mayhem fiesta that could find a welcoming fan base if accurately targeted toward hipper college and young urban auds."[2]
Merle Bertrand of Film Threat wrote that the film features a "beyond redemption family that only Jerry Springer could love" and called the performances "over-the-top".[3]
