Here's hoping Short's next project is more worthy of the guy's skills, because this Jiminy Glick character grows real old, real fast.

I did find myself laughing at times, and if you are a Jiminy Glick fan, you will too.

A very bumpy transition to the big screen realm of 90-minute storytelling.

The plot barely even qualifies as a throwaway, but along the way there are several funny bits.

Sporadically amusing but more often flat...its batting average is regrettably low.

Wedding a fairly complex mystery with show-biz satire against the real-life festival backdrop requires more structure and maybe more scripted scenes.

What Short does not deserve -- and neither do we -- is a feature-length movie about Jiminy.

Both excruciatingly dreadful and so truly peculiar that it's hard to look away.

Within 40 minutes, though, you may realize you've had about as much fun as you're going to -- and that the movie is barely halfway done.

Good news, fans of Martin Short's porky celebrity interviewer, Jiminy Glick: There's a big-screen version of the short-lived Comedy Central series, and both of you will enjoy it.

Kind of satire-lite, it's better than one has a right to expect of a feature film starring a latex-enhanced TV character. And if you don't like it, well it's not very long.

There are so many unexplored comic possibilities in this movie-within-a-movie that are never explored. That would have required some genuine forethought and detailed script work.

Short's fans should wait for the DVD, where they can skip to the good scenes, which amount to 24 minutes of ace material -- perhaps not coincidentally, the same length as an old SCTV episode.
