Silverman concluded, "total individuals looking for a great outdated shounen adventure story about a few of plucky kids (with bonus burly djinn!) pursuing their goals must give this a shot. It just isn't perfect, but it is a good time". There's a shot in the film of the pair on their wedding day day. Unfortunately, the scriptwriters have been much less demanding of them selves, and the movie suffers from banal dialogue and predictable plotting.
