ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

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.

Joanalamode One of the best qualities that Martin Short has is his development of great characters.Giminy Glick is one of them. The potential for Glick to be around for a long time and have continued success is his inability to do a professional (by Hollywood standards) good interview, his crazy personal life (which should be a movie all by itself) and his upward climb of the Hollywood ladder.What I liked most about the movie was what was described above. At any point in the movie where the above takes place, was at it's most brilliant and funny.Why 5 stars: There was a lot more potential for the movie to be better. I would have loved to see more of Glick being around celebrities. To me that is the best part.I found the sub characters uninteresting, EXCEPT for Glick's wacky family. The cast was exciting to me unfortunately the character's they portrayed were less than exciting.See it you may like it I did. For Martin Short fans it is a must see.

bigfatbooty ...and get ready to laugh you Glick off! This movie is an instant comedy classic! "Jiminy Glick Goes to La-La Wood" is one of those underrated nuggets that deserves cult status. 'KEIFER! KEIFER! KEIFER! KEIFER!" I had never been a Martin Short fan ("Clifford" anyone?) but I always found Jiminy Glick painfully funny. Fire one up and get ready to roll off the couch in convulsive laughter as Martin Short brings his greatest character of all time to the big screen. Jan Hooks has some of the best lines in the movie (The "purse" line will bring tears to your eyes), and naming his kids "Matthew" and "Modine" is simply genius. Don't rent this movie, BUY IT - and file it between "Dumb and Dumber" and "The Man With Two Brains". This movie is funny! Be sure to watch the deleted scenes as well - the interviews with Steve Martin and Kurt Russell are hysterical, and the scenes in the car with Jan Hooks are gut-busting. Ad this one to your collection today!

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.
