- 70L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonL.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonWhile it isn't surprising that improv gods Short and fellow SNL vet Jan Hooks, as Glick's wife, Dixie, are brilliant, who knew that perennial onscreen good girl Elizabeth Perkins, playing here a has-been bitch-diva, could be so brittle and sexy?
- 70Los Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoLos Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoA giddy, gassy piece of lunatic fluff that recounts Jiminy's rise to fame. In interviews, Short has described Glick as a moron with power, and in Jiminy Glick in Lalawood, he takes us back to the early days, when he was merely a moron.
- 67Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIn his curdled-butterball way, Jiminy Glick may be the most acidic showbiz send-up since Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton. This movie, though it has its moments, is a pedestal he didn't need.
- 60Film ThreatFilm ThreatShort does a good job playing Lynch but this whole Lynch thing might have played funnier ten years ago.
- 50Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversDirector Vadim Jean is lucky that his low-octane comedy is long on Short.
- 40VarietyEddie CockrellVarietyEddie CockrellToo often depends on salty, adolescent one-liners that provide shock value guffaws but grow cumulatively wearisome.
- 40Dallas ObserverRobert WilonskyDallas ObserverRobert WilonskyA tenth of a movie masquerading as a full feature.
- 40The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenAn intermittently funny free-for-all that tries desperately to flesh out a television sketch into a feature-length movie.
- 30The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinA film this slipshod needs much more star-power than it's able to muster.
