Watch Jiminy Glick in Lalawood For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Just what I expected

Excellent but underrated film

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I've rated this an 8 because even though it has trying sections, if you're a Glick nut like me, it's worth waiting (or on disc, fast forwarding past them) to reach the good stuff. The man Martin Short describes as a moron with power leaves his home in Butte, Montana and takes wife Dixie and two of their boys up to Toronto for the big film fest. And once there, the laughs really kick into high gear. Jiminy sleeps through a big ticket premiere, then writes a bogus rave review and, as only Glick could, lands a prized sit down television interview with it's reclusive star!Short does double duty as Glick and director David Lynch, an uncanny imitation that holds the silly plot together with his recounting of the parallel Lana Turner / Johnny Stompanato scandal that forever changed the life of her daughter, Cheryl Crane. Elizabeth Perkins and my favourite, Linda Cardellini, star as a celebrity mother and her child who have the unfortunate lowlife producer Andre (played by the great John Michael Higgins) in their world like a sleazy time bomb waiting to go off. At least, his vulgar mouth is constantly ready for yet another wicked and disgusting remark.Glick's "hard hitting" segments with Steve Martin and Kurt Russell are truly funny and the send ups of festival behaviour are probably closer to the truth than industry publicists would care to admit. If Short ever makes a sequel, let's hope there are flashbacks that give Higgins and Cardellini a chance to further flesh out their characters' lives and careers. I need a Glick fix!

First of all, love the reviewer who watched half an hour and then felt it was valid to write how horrible the movie is. Next time watch the whole movie before you review it, I think that's the least someone should expect and would advise anyone to ignore any reviews like that.That being said, this is no comic masterpiece, but if you are a fan of the TV show it should be entertaining for you. These characters are so goofy that its not for everyone. I probably most appreciated all of the improv by the myriad of stars making cameos, reminds me of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Its a non-painful way to kill 90 minutes. It also reminds me of Napolean Dynamite in that it is actually funnier the second time through.

Wow. I have to admit that I've never seen Jiminy Glick on television, but I'm aware of the character. Now I wish I'd never seen the film as well. What a mess. I saw a screening with Martin Short in attendance, and his interview afterward was delightful - funny and insightful. Short seems like a truly grounded person, an entertainer through and through, but humble and appreciative. If only the film consisted of two hours of Martin being Martin, or even Martin being Glick, conducting uncomfortable interviews, but no. The film is a sad mishmash of film noir nods and classic movie homages that just don't mesh. Yes, the entire movie was improvised - not a word of it scripted -and it shows. Too often relying on burp and fart jokes, on the "hilarity" of everyone talking at once, on tired gangsta rap spoofs all wrapped around a pointless mystery. Glick's trademark interviews are the few (and by few I mean there are only a couple)funny parts of the flick. If you're a fan of the show, I'd say save your money and wait for those three seasons to hit DVD.

You certainly have to be a huge fan of Martin Short's ridiculous character Glick -if not a Hollywood-philic moviegoer instead- to really appreciate this hangin' around-at-the-Toronto Film Festival, full-of-cameos, Hollywood-inner-joke comedy.And of course forget the plot, cause it doesn't matter at all when you dig this kind of film. In fact, because of its chaotic structure, "Jiminy Glick on La La Wood" doesn't make it as a cool movie.But it's loaded with self-deprecating glimpses, movie industry sarcasms and art-house parody (specially the David Lynch one), which makes it fairly enjoyable by film junkies.6.5 out of 10 if with a couple of beers.
