Reception
Film Business Asia gave the film a five out of ten rating, stating "the comedy is not sustained enough, or broad enough, to inspire real laughs rather than just smiles, and the action is largely crammed into the final 15 minutes with the sudden appearance of a plot and a super-villain."[4]Variety gave the film a positive review, praising the script and comparing the two leads to William Powell and Myrna Loy.[7]
The Special Broadcasting Service gave the film three stars out of five, finding that the film "delivers the crowd-pleasing goods in its own eccentric way." but lacked comic subtlety.[8] The review also compared the film to The Incredibles stating that the "greatest superhuman feat is avoiding a court date with the suits at Pixar – the shameless similarities to The Incredibles (2004) are there for all to see."[8]
