Reception

Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía rated the film 2½ out of 5 stars, writing about a "childish and far-fetched" screenplay.[7]

Manuel J. Lombardo of Diario de Sevilla gave the film a 1-star rating, lamenting that it does not manage to get past its premise, and is "trapped in a soporific no man's land".[8]

Quim Casas of El Periódico de Catalunya rated the film 1 out of 5 stars, assessing that, following the steps of the successful Santiago Segura's film franchises, the film consists of a series of predictable situations in a conventional context.[9]
