The Tribune said the film "was mostly funny, but a little too long. Although it's a parody of the worst aspects of the public service, the portrayal of people with injuries as leeches on society did get a little annoying. Nonetheless, for a small budget, home-grown movie Nigel Buesst has done very well." [5]
The Age said it "had a smattering of excellent on liners but is a narrative and satirical shambles and is further sullied by some dreadful miscasting." [6]
