Peter Travers of "Rolling Stone" declared the film the year's worst star vehicle on his list of the Worst Movies of 2007, while Colm Andrew of the "Manx Independent" said the film "delivers a rambling, confusing narrative with only a few stylistic elements thrown in". The film was nominated for two Teen Choice Awards. For his performance, Carrey was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor at the 28th Golden Raspberry Awards, but lost to Eddie Murphy for "Norbit".
