Short'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.

Reviews for Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood
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
Never was this funny a comedian in this horrible a movie.
05/06/05
Top CriticThis Glick flick balloons from sketch comedy to feature film -- and you can see the stretch marks from the strain.
05/06/05
Reinforces the oft-made argument that sketches that work in quick doses on the small screen can get repellent fast in feature-length format.
05/06/05
Do you think Jiminy Glick is funny? If the answer is no, then you'll have a hard time spending 90 minutes with the corpulent, star-struck celebrity-interviewer in his debut film, Jiminy Glick in Lalawood.
05/06/05
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.

Top CriticIf I could do a celebrity interview with Martin Short and ask one question, it would be 'Why?'
05/06/05
Jiminy Glick In La La Wood is a movie with an identity problem.
05/05/05
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
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 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
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 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 CriticThe sight of Short impersonating David Lynch, in portentous Rod Serling mode, is priceless.
05/05/05
It is almost guaranteed one's enjoyment of "Lalawood" will depend on how much arcane knowledge of Hollywood and cinema one has.
05/04/05
Hit-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.
