Cast Reception Donna Rolfe of Dove.org, a website which bases its reviews on "Christian values", awarded the film its "Dove 'Faith Friendly' Seal for all ages", calling it "a sweet romantic comedy that is faith friendly". Bob Waliszewski of Plugged In, a publication of the Christian conservative organization Focus on the Family, wrote that "While this flick will never be mistaken for an Oscar contender, it mingles together a number of positive things", praising the film's "clear and unforced Gospel presentation". Vince Mancini of Uproxx gave the film a negative review, calling it "an unintentional parody of whiteness" and writing that "it's a movie where ching chong background music plays when the characters go out for sushi and at least one kid has to be wearing a straw cowboy hat and walking a pet burro to make sure you know they're in Mexico". Jacob Oller, writing for the website Vague Visages, criticized the film as being "a spastic blurring of the line between infomercial and parody".
