Charles Passy of "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution" gave it a negative review, writing: "Instead of a fairy tale, we have a tale told without imagination. It's Cinderella gone stale." Andrew Chase of Killer Movie Reviews, however, was more positive. Chase wrote: "Leave reality at the concession stand along with your $20 for popcorn, candy and a large drink". Derek Adams of "Time Out" wrote: "Talented individuals labour over the contrivances in this lightweight romance, and if the result's fluff, at least it's painless."
