I did find myself laughing at times, and if you are a Jiminy Glick fan, you will too.

Film Threat
Rating: C+ --
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.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
Wedding a fairly complex mystery with show-biz satire against the real-life festival backdrop requires more structure and maybe more scripted scenes.

Rating: 2/4 --
Good 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.
New York Post
In the funniest segments, Jiminy is his familiar ebullient self, springing into action as a hysterical bug-eyed interviewer grilling every celebrity who crosses his path...
New York Times
Rating: 2/4 --
Within 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.

Product Description:
Multitalented comedian Martin Short brings his character Jiminy Glick, the Butte, Montana entertainment television reporter, to the big screen in the comedy JIMINY GLICK IN LALAWOOD. A little sweaty and a lot excitable, Jiminy's finally headed to the big time: the Toronto Film Festival. With his wife Dixie (Jan Hooks) and twin sons Matthew and Modine in tow, Jiminy is poised to realize his celebrity-worshipping dreams by becoming an industry player. After he scores an interview with reclusive, bad-boy actor Ben DiCarlo (Corey Pearson), Jiminy is catapulted to sudden fame and everyone wants in on the action. A famous actress on the decline, Miranda Coolidge (Elizabeth Perkins), seeks Jiminy out, but their new friendship appears to have a deadly result. Can gentle journalist Glick have a hidden violent side'
Short, who co-wrote this film with Paul Flaherty and Michael Short, first introduced Jiminy Glick via his Comedy Central television program PRIMETIME GLICK. Here, in a feature-length film, Jiminy has ample room to skewer the pervasive culture of celebrity worship while tying in knowledge of movies and Hollywood history. Staying with his family in a creepy hotel far from the glitterati, with director David Lynch (Short again) as a quasi-guide and narrator, Jiminy navigates the treacherous waters of fame with hilarious results.
