Jiminy Glick

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. January 16, 2007

Mostly amusing with several big laughs here and there!

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

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,
