Critic Reviews

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

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

  • Michael Wilmington, 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.

  • Jami Bernard, New York Daily News

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

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    Glick is a one-note joke, and a flat note at that.

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    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.

    I like the Jiminy Glick character created by Martin Short. The skit becomes tired when stretched to movie length. It was funny how he was annoying all the celebrities with his overbearing personality. Good makeup effects on Martin Short. It was interesting how it was told in Hollywood… More

    This character does much better in 5 minute increments as opposed to a whole show - let alone a full-length movie! Martin Short is funny, but this is something that I have a short attention span for.

    A fun movie. The interviews were the funniest. Also some good celebrity cameos.
