Jiminy Glick in La La Wood

Description

Ruthless. Shameless. Clueless! Celebrity interviewer Jiminy Glick (Martin Short) tackles the big screen with his first feature film: a wildly irreverent, laugh-till-it-hurts movie experience that skewers Hollywood with "potent comic accuracy" and features "more celebs than you can shake a microphone at" (Entertainment News)! Hungry for an A-list interview that could launch him into the gossip-page stratosphere, the small-time journalist with big aspirations and an even bigger appetite drags his wife and kids across the country to the star-studded Toronto Film Festival. But in between the nonstop parties and all-you-can-eat buffets, Glick soon finds himself in the middle of an outrageously scandalous mystery that becomes the celebrity scoop of the decade!

Jiminy Glick.......2007-01-17

This movie sucks! It is so stupid. We got it for our Kiefer Sutherland collection but will probably get rid of it. We couldn't even watch it all the way through. We will probably give it away. I do not recommend watching or buying this video.

Mostly amusing with several big laughs here and there!.......2006-08-24

I was sort of expecting this movie to be unfunny and dull after reading the reviews on amazon. First off I think the made up character Jiminy Glick is hilarious. In this movie he was not the only funny character. His wife, kids, and the rude indian guy were also very hilarious. Martin Short's blunt characterization of David Lynch is very amusing and realistic. The interviews were probably the weakest parts of the movie. Some were good while some were lame.

This is a comedy spoof of David Lynch movies. So if you know David Lynch movies you can then be prepared for this comedy to be a bit on the bizarre side.

The one-liners are fast and furious. I had to watch this movie a second time just to get all the jokes.

This movie is goofy, fun and histrionic! It is on par with any movie done by the SNL crew or even Jim Carrey.

This isn't a typically contemporary kind of comedy. During the first viewing I didn't laugh at anything until about halfway through with the lines "so the girl next door is the red girl next door" (referring to Meg Ryan being a communist) and "fatty, fat person, bloat" (when Jiminy is blocking a doorway some guy is trying to get through), and thought it's main saving grace was seeing Lindsay from Freaks And Geeks again, but it exists in it's own universe to some extent and it seemed funnier and more entertaining watching it a second time after I knew what to expect.

Enjoyed Movie Overall-But Hope for Some Changes.......2006-07-20

I love Martin Short and Jan Hooks, especially when these two lovable kooks team up. Martin and Jan have a special brand of humor that impressed me when I first saw them perform. The movie was very funny; my only criticism was about the "cussing" by all of the actors/actresses. If there wasn't cussing in the movie, it could be viewed and enjoyed by the entire family - young and old. Martin and Jan in their own right, are very funny without the cursing. In fact, I call them comedic geniuses. They have brilliant humorous ability and are very creative. I hope that Marin Short and Jan Hooks team up for another funny movie, and that the movie can be viewed by the entire family. Martin and Jan demonstrate natural talent. We look forward to the next movie - minus the cussing. They do not need that element in their movie. They are just naturally funny. We also love the characters Jiminy and Dixie Glick. The names alone, will have you laughing. I LOVED THE MOVIE OVERALL!
We love you Martin and Jan, and look forward to whatever you two geniuses have in store for us, your fans.
Your Fans,
Norma & Harry

Product Description

The world's most obnoxious celebrity alk-show host demonstrates how he rose to mediocrity in this pungent show business satire. Jiminy Glick (Martin Short) is a corpulent entertainment reporter who is looking to kick his career into high gear. Hoping to snag some celebrity interviews, Jiminy and his wife, Trixie (Jan Hooks), head north of the border to Canada, where Jiminy will attend the Toronto Film Festival. At first, Glick's attempts to ingratiate himself with stars and semi-stars are little short of disastrous, but after the easily star-struck reporter allows egocentric filmmaker Ben DiCarlo (Corey Pearson) to shamelessly self-promote his latest project on air, word gets around that Glick is an "easy interview," and his star begins to rise. However, Jiminy's good fortune is tempered by his unwitting involvement in a murder plot centered around booze-addled actress Miranda Coolidge (Elizabeth Perkins) and her wildly pretentious husband, Andre Devine (John Michael Higgins). Somewhere along the way, filmmaker David Lynch (played by Short) happens along, offering his theories on the controversial murder of Lana Turner's paramour Johnny Stompanato. A large number of Hollywood celebrities make cameo appearances in Jiminy Glick in La La Wood, including Steve Martin, Kevin Kline, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Forest Whitaker, Kiefer Sutherland, and Sharon Stone.

Martin Short as Jiminy Glick....Comic genius!.......2006-03-21

I first caught "Primetime with Jiminy Glick" on Comedy Central about a year or so back. It took me a few episodes to catch on, but Martin Short is amazing as this character. I suggest you start with "Primetime", but once you watch it, you'll love this movie. Written in old-fashioned Hollywood style, it is a strong storyline and cast of characters. Like most movies of its type, it doesnt take itself too seriously and is filled with hilarious laughs all the way to the end. It follows Jiminy's rise to fame through the Toronto film festival and a string of unbelievable events.
I have not seen a comedy this good in a long time!
