Top CriticWedding a fairly complex mystery with show-biz satire against the real-life festival backdrop requires more structure and maybe more scripted scenes.
05/06/05
Top CriticWhat Short does not deserve -- and neither do we -- is a feature-length movie about Jiminy.
05/06/05
Top CriticGlick is a one-note joke, and a flat note at that.
05/06/05
Top CriticWithin 40 minutes, though, you may realize you've had about as much fun as you're going to -- and that the movie is barely halfway done.
05/06/05
Top CriticGood news, fans of Martin Short's porky celebrity interviewer, Jiminy Glick: There's a big-screen version of the short-lived Comedy Central series, and both of you will enjoy it.
05/06/05
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.
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.
05/06/05
Top CriticNever was this funny a comedian in this horrible a movie.
05/06/05
Top CriticThose 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 CriticMartin 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 CriticThe improvised dialogue has a no-holds-barred quality that can hit or miss. But when it hits, it can be hysterical.
05/05/05
Top CriticHow 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 CriticThe film's humor generally falls flat, and its tone becomes self-congratulatory. Not that congratulations are in order.
05/05/05
Top CriticThis 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 CriticThere are only so many show-biz junkies in the known universe, and maybe they'll be the only ones who will find Jiminy Glick in La La Wood a font of endless giggles.
05/05/05
Top CriticHit-and-miss.
05/04/05
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 Critic[Has] all the narrative tug of a four-year-old's backyard adventure.
