Reception
[edit | edit source]The film has been regarded as shallow, weak, and unsuccessful, from its comedic design to its other concerns. Although it attempts to avoid sexual humor, it fails to create comedic situations without it. One review states:
"Almost all of Seventy Thirty's comedy revolves around Bahram Afshari insulting others with his distinctive accent. Remove the accent, and there is nothing in his character that is funny. The film's comedy is entirely contained in the characters’ dialogue, arguments, and shouting, and there is practically no situational comedy in the film."
Nevertheless, the film manages to keep a smile on the audience's face from beginning to end.[7]
