This is not a mainstream comedy, it's a Canadian thing, ehh. A lot of in-jokes and offbeat humor. If you are not familiar with the Jiminy Glick character, you will not get a lot of the humor. Watching it was... Full review

The film reminds me of something my grandfather used to say: You can make fudge out of crap but it's still going to stink.
I missed this movie when it came out at the theatre locally and I was really bummed because I love Martin Short and I love the character he created, Jiminy Glick, the clueless, donut eating celebrity interviewer.

Martin Short is a guy capable of truly hilarious comedy.....But that's the main problem with Jiminy Glick in Lalawood ;....Take the very best moments of this overlong farce....Improv genius David Michael Higgins scores a whole lot of laughs as a profane and clueless Euro-trash movie director;....the picture quality is quite strong indeed..... ...
