GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

FlashCallahan A weird movie indeed. David lynch narrates the story of Glick, who becomes an overnight sensation because he interviews some actor.He has recurring nightmares about an actress being murdered, and when he wakes up next to the dead body, or is it?, he starts to panic.This believe it or not is the plot of the film, and I for one loved the movie. Short shines as the titular character, and Glick is disgusting and camp in a Les Patterson sort of way.But the thing that makes this standout from other movies like this (such as Borat and Bruno) is the fact that everyone involved looks like they are having a whale of a time, and yet nothing offencive is exchanged between Gloick and the cameos.The main story of the film, does become very confusing at times, and we get some sort of Scooby doo ending, but thanks to Short, the movie is really worth watching, because of countless references and the pure insanity of it all.It goes to show that a lot of actors in Hollywood are good sports and can be self deprecating, if handled the right way.

Wizard-8 Before I get into my opinion of "Jiminy Glick In Lalawood", I feel I should mention that before watching the movie I had never seen the Martin Short "Primetime Glick" TV show with this character. And after suffering through the 90 minute running time of this movie, I have no desire to do so. I simply could not stand this character. He acts hyper all the time (which is exhausting), and he is pretty feeble-minded (and not in an amusing way). And this character is in the movie in almost every scene! Is there anything worthwhile in the movie? Well, I did find Short's imitation of David Lynch somewhat amusing (and a good makeup job). But that's about all. The movie parodies are not funny, the celebrity interviews are not funny. Even the outtakes at the end of the movie are not funny! It's no wonder Short has remained pretty obscure since the end of SCTV.

xanthoxyl This is one of those films which a lot of people will really hate, and which are a lot funnier *because* people hate them. Short is sometimes woeful and sometimes brilliant, and this is brilliant *if* you get the references. His impersonation of David Lynch was so good that it was a full twenty seconds before I realized it wasn't actually him.The main problem with the film is that the budget is too low, and as a result some scenes don't work well. Bits and pieces of the story seem incomplete; in fact the plot comes across almost as the work of a beginner, but the script is funny enough that this doesn't matter all that much, and the supporting actors are excellent.

wllmfurlong Wow. I have to admit that I've never seen Jiminy Glick on television, but I'm aware of the character. Now I wish I'd never seen the film as well. What a mess. I saw a screening with Martin Short in attendance, and his interview afterward was delightful - funny and insightful. Short seems like a truly grounded person, an entertainer through and through, but humble and appreciative. If only the film consisted of two hours of Martin being Martin, or even Martin being Glick, conducting uncomfortable interviews, but no. The film is a sad mishmash of film noir nods and classic movie homages that just don't mesh. Yes, the entire movie was improvised - not a word of it scripted -and it shows. Too often relying on burp and fart jokes, on the "hilarity" of everyone talking at once, on tired gangsta rap spoofs all wrapped around a pointless mystery. Glick's trademark interviews are the few (and by few I mean there are only a couple)funny parts of the flick. If you're a fan of the show, I'd say save your money and wait for those three seasons to hit DVD.
