A very bumpy transition to the big screen realm of 90-minute storytelling.

Reviews for Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood
Glick goes goofy as comedy sketch fails to fill up a feature film.
05/12/05
What Short does not deserve -- and neither do we -- is a feature-length movie about Jiminy.
05/06/05
Top CriticGlick, alas, has run out of gas.
04/27/05
The great junket whore movie is still awaiting to be made. But Jiminy Glick In Lalawood is a step in the right direction.
05/05/05
How you feel about Short's alter ego will probably determine how you feel about Jiminy Glick in Lalawood, a giddy, gassy piece of lunatic fluff that recounts Jiminy's rise to fame.
05/05/05
Top CriticShort's fans should wait for the DVD, where they can skip to the good scenes, which amount to 24 minutes of ace material -- perhaps not coincidentally, the same length as an old SCTV episode.

Top CriticIf I could do a celebrity interview with Martin Short and ask one question, it would be 'Why?'
05/06/05
Martin Short himself is one of the funniest men alive, or can be, and has been. But Jiminy Glick needs definition if he's to work as a character.
05/05/05
Top CriticIn his curdled-butterball way, Jiminy Glick may be the most acidic showbiz send-up since Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton.
05/04/05
Top CriticIt is almost guaranteed one's enjoyment of "Lalawood" will depend on how much arcane knowledge of Hollywood and cinema one has.
05/04/05
There are so many unexplored comic possibilities in this movie-within-a-movie that are never explored. That would have required some genuine forethought and detailed script work.
05/06/05
This frantic comic hodgepodge, built around Martin Short's Comedy Central character, tries desperately to flesh out a television sketch into a feature-length movie.
05/05/05
Top CriticGlick is a one-note joke, and a flat note at that.
05/06/05
Top CriticGlick isn’t... satisfying as satire...
05/13/05
The plot barely even qualifies as a throwaway, but along the way there are several funny bits.
05/08/05
The poking fun at movie stars stuff is mostly funny, but the filler scenes fall flat.
04/26/05
There's a method to the madness after all.
02/26/07
Those who wouldn't know the difference between Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, and couldn't care less, will care even less than that about this movie.
05/06/05
Top CriticSo, yeah, this is a terribly flawed film. Then again, it's a film featuring Jiminy Glick; nobody's really expecting much.
