Just perfect...

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

When I was a kid, a broadcast of SCTV would only get my attention if Martin Short was the guy on the screen. Even today my tastes have not wavered. The only reason I am thinking of getting TEVO is so that I can punch in Martin's name and take in a month's worth of his talent when nobody is there to bother me.Martin Short is without a doubt the funniest human being who has ever lived. His Jiminy Glick character is especially funny, and obviously so "inside" most people don't even get it...or do they? Martin Short is the only heterosexual man who can make Bette Davis and Katherine Hepburn impersonations funny for us straight men. Please don't take this as a homophobic view, rather, it is testament to Short's incredible talent. He's just funnier than a conventional drag queen or a female impersonator. He does what he does, and his straight audience laughs because it's funny, while his gay audience falls off their chairs because it's so hilariously campy and cruel.Today I watched an episode of Primetime Jiminy and watched Short do a reenactment of Sal Mineo's murder with marionettes. Imagine that...a famous gay murder played out with cheap puppets -- it was so patently gay, yet only a small percent of those watching (and laughing) would understand how horribly and morbidly funny it really was. C'mon, we all know Jiminy Glick is Merv Griffin -- it's so beyond funny because Martin Short is essentially a straight drag queen.Thanks, Damien

Martin Short has created in Jiminy Glick one of the most original and funny characters in the history of television. Short has always had an original way of poking fun at people, but this is his best effort yet. I am very please with Comedy Central taking this show on for another season and who knows how many seasons it will last, but I do believe it will always be remembered and loved.Short is never afraid of doing something new and unique to get a laugh rather than using direct parody. Both Glick and his sidekick Adrien Van Voorhees (played by the underrated actor/comic, Michael McKean) are hilarious in how eccentric they are. The interesting this about Glick is that it is not that he is fat that is funny, it is how it complements his personality. It is the package that is funny and not just "Martin Short in a fat suit".Explaining the premise doesn't do any justice to "Primetime Glick" and I dare say it may take a few viewings to truly understand the humor of this show, but once you find it you will be hooked, I promise!

It is impossible to believe that one man can be so funny. However, Martin Short really pulls through with this hilarious television series. His character, Jiminy Glick, an extremely overweight Hollywood interviewer, is played brilliantly. The voice he uses can make someone laugh even if he hasn't said anything funny. The interview with Ben Stiller was fantastic.

Those of us old enough to remember when Martin Short was really funny (the SCTV days) know it was because of his characters. He never picked movies correctly in the 80's and 90's, and his career suffered for it. In "Glick" he has not only created a comedy masterpiece (I really DON'T remember the last time I laughed so hard at television) he's also returned to what he does BEST. The voice, the makeup, the guests, the strange revulsion/intrigue - it's amazing to watch. Finally - Martin Short is BRILLIANT again! And interestingly, it's just as funny with repeated viewings - primarily because there's so much going on with the Glick character. I'm a jaded viewer, hard to impress, but there's a reason why the "A" list comedians can barely keep a straight face during his interviews! This show is top drawer - I'm already recording it for fear it's too intelligently funny to last for long.
