      andrew k Martin Short is always great as Jiminy Glick. The rest of the movie ... less so. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst movies ever filmed. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review camille l Hollywood aime bien se moquer d'Hollywood. Hollywood aime aussi adapter des sketches d'émission de TV pour en faire des films en capitalisant sur la relative popularité de ces-dits sketches. Jiminy Glick in Lalawood couvre ces deux idées, à grand renfort de caméos tous plus pathétiques les uns que les autres (seuls Steve Martin et Kurt Russell, les plus présents, en sortent plus ou moins grandis) et de gags probablement déjà vus dans les précédentes itérations du personnage. Avec son intrigue policière totalement inepte quasi copiée-collée sur La Revanche d'une Blonde (avec Linda Cardellini jouant quasiment le même personnage), Martin Short qui cabotine tellement qu'il en devient irregardable sauf quand il imite plutôt très bien David Lynch et le manque cruel de vrais gags construits, le film de Vadim Jean se range dans la catégorie du pire de ce sous-genre de comédie, qui tend heureusement à disparaître de nos jours. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Favorite movie ever!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Some people just don't get it. This movie is not mainstream, it is Short at his SCTV best. I laughed so many times. If you liked the TV show, this is golden. If you have no background, you will be clueless. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I am a big fan of Glick. I would have much preferred a PG 13 version. The crude sexual humor added nothing to the formula. I liked it well enough to sit through the whole thing, but I wouldn't watch it again like I have the Comedy Central Glick programs.

      Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper It didn't work. There's not a movie here. May 9, 2005 Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune Wedding a fairly complex mystery with show-biz satire against the real-life festival backdrop requires more structure and maybe more scripted scenes. Rated: 1.5/4 May 6, 2005 Full Review Jami Bernard New York Daily News What Short does not deserve -- and neither do we -- is a feature-length movie about Jiminy. Rated: 1/4 May 6, 2005 Full Review Jason Gorber Film Scouts Grafting a murder-mystery atop the celebrity interview spoof shtick, the film plays like a silly skit drawn out over an hour and a half. Rated: C+ Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Kevin Lally Film Journal International There's a method to the madness after all.
