Depressed about his lack of success in finishing the screenplay, the writer explains that he has become suicidal and threatens to kill himself, which was the source of the apocalypse in Pete's world.

[8] Jamie S. Rich of DVD Talk rated it 0.5/5 stars and wrote that although the film is not poorly made, the writing is shallow and immature.

[5] Devon Ashby of CraveOnline rated it 2.5/10 stars and wrote that it "[fails] to compensate for its lack of superficial content with convincing thematic resonance or formal commentary".
