Reception The TV critic from The Age called the film "wonderfully whimsical. A sort of Aussie Heartburn, it combines liberal helpings of Jewish philosophy and humour, off-beat animation, accelerated footage and delicious satire."Barbara Hooks, TV review The Age 5 February 1988 p 12 accessed 20 June 2013
