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 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.

    Based on the Martin Short-in-a-fat-suit TV program. Very funny as Jiminy is sent by the local affiliate in Butte, MT to cover the Toronto Film Festival. He becomes an overnight sensation and all the celebs what to be interviewed by him. Lots of great comedic actors (plus the bane...( read more) of my existence Jeneane Garfalo).

    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 found this very funny, even though I was unfamiliar with the Jiminy Glick character.
