      Reception


      The film has a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Norman Gidney of Film Threat awarded the film a 6 out of 10. He writes "It is clear that Blane was influenced by John Cameron Mitchell...he has Mitchell’s warm understanding and faith in the goodness of people in general."
      Kimber Myers of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Directors Mark Blane and Ben Mankoff bring a kinky sweetness to this oddball dramedy, but audience's appetites for it will depend on their patience with its lead character."
      Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Whatever charms the filmmakers envisioned are nowhere apparent in these 83 cringe-worthy minutes."
      John Paul King of the Los Angeles Blade gave the film a positive review and concluded "Because in the end, that’s what makes “Cubby” – as well as its awkward hero – lovable in spite of itself. It's a film that is often infuriating and sometimes difficult to watch, but it has a voice of its own that is not quite like anything else you've ever seen – and there are very few films out there today, Indie or otherwise, that can lay claim to that."
