Review of Jiminy Glick in Lalawood (2005) by Manny C — 23 Apr 2011
When Martin Short dons the fat suit as Jiminy Glick, the talk show host from Butte, Montana, he's hilarious. This film about that character, created by Short for Comedy Central, his mostly forgettable.
It's chock full of improvised dialog and a sort of mystery plot that gives Martin an excuse to do his best David Lynch. Everything else involves Jiminy with his wife Dixie (Jan Hooks) and their two sons, hilariously named Matthew and Modine, visiting the Toronto Film Festival.
It's there that Jiminy asks his signature rude questions of people like Steve Martin and Kurt Russell, but then falls asleep when they answer. Again, mostly forgettable.
