Plot: Martin Short reprises the role he made famous, that of showbiz maven and combustible talk-show host Jiminy Glick, in this offbeat comedy. Glick is soaking in the atmosphere at the Toronto Film Festiva...( read more read more... )l, where he's determined to make his mark. When he snags an interview with superstar Ben DiCarlo (Corey Pearson), Glick's profile receives a much-needed jolt, but matters turn seamy when an aging actress is found dead in his bed.

    While I find this Martin Short character somewhat ammusing in small doses...I wasn't sure how he'd hold up through an entire film. But being a HUGE Jan Hooks fan and having heard about all of the David Lynch refrences and parodies involved I was intrigued enough to DVR it.

    There are several moments of true hilarity sprinkled throughout. Most of the really ammusing stuff (for me) usually involved either Jan Hooks or the David Lynch refrences. There are also several ammusing celebrity interviews and a few good "jabs" at Hollywood, which (as a film fan) you can't help but appreciate. But, for the most part this was mostly just silly, sophomoric, self-indulgent, fluff.

    Which is not an entirely bad thing (every now and again), provided you go into it knowing/expecting as much.

    Pretty weak. Giving Jiminy Glick his own movie was a pretty bad idea. worth watching though for his interview with Steve Martin and Kurt Russel some funny blopers aswell.

    i was an extremely huge fan of prime time glick. i'd prefer that the episodes of that be released on dvd rather than make a disappointing crap film. i think martin short is hilarious. i'm somewhat confused by how much i love him because he never seems to do a good movie. i know you can do it marty. just wait for a good script! it'll come.

    Martin Short and John Michael Higgins are brilliant..pretty thrown-together sort of plot,with an homage to David Lynch that's fairly funny..I would only recommend it to Martin Short fans,though.

    This is one of the strangest comedies I have ever seen. While watching the first half this film I thoought that it was annoying, crude, dumb and unfunny. For tunately as it was moving along it got a bit better and funnier. All the improvised interviews scene with the celebrities were hilarious (Steve Martin's scene was great) and the cast themselves delivered some witty moments as well (John Michael Higgins stole every scene he was in). While I think that the film overall was average but it has some good ideas, it just never quite reaches where wants to be.

    scarcily disapointing. his tv show was on a whole nother level. it doesnt seem like the same ppl did it. stupid plot, and worse actors as acting as actors.. of course there is nothing funnier than a hyper nut dressed up in a fat suit making fun of ppl. Meg Ryan is a communist. LMAO. so its greatly hysterical, but should be more like his show..
