It didn't work. There's not a movie here.

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

What Short does not deserve -- and neither do we -- is a feature-length movie about Jiminy.

Rated: 1/4

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+

OK, I am not only an SCTV fan, but I was also a huge Jiminy Glick fan. And I love this film! Love it! And I am fully aware this film had no mainstream appeal, this was narrowcasting 101. Most of the gags were very inside, especially the Lynch parody angle. If you came into this film with zero background on Short and his background, you were going to be lost. But if you are initiated, brilliant!!

Martin Short is always great as Jiminy Glick. The rest of the movie ... less so.

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.

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.
