The A.V. Clubs Nathan Rabin rated the film with a D+ grade. He found Dane Cook "miscast and unconvincing" in his role, criticizing him for his use of "a dour expression and permanent frown" for his performance but said his appearance is the only thing in the movie that sets it apart from the numerous "everything-is-connected knock-offs" found in film festivals, saying "[I]t doesn't build to a climax so much as it winds down with a halfhearted shrug and a few feeble false shots of hope. (Maybe we aren't so different after all!)"
