Critical response

Luciano E. Soriano of the Manila Standard gave the film a negative review, criticizing its haphazardly-written plot, simplistic humor, and poor production value, all of which he assumes was due to a rushed production. He also noted the film's regular use of toilet humor, which he recognized is a staple for the lead trio's films, stating that "[i]t is offensive but the audience loves it just the same."^[3]
