Overview
Hungry for an A-list interview that could launch him into the gossip rag stratosphere, Jiminy Glick, a small-time journalist with big aspirations and an even bigger appetite, drags his wife and kids across the country to the star-studded Toronto Film Festival. But in between the nonstop parties and all-you-can-eat buffets, Glick soon finds himself in the middle of an outrageously scandalous mystery that becomes the celebrity scoop of the decade!

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.

Glick is a one-note joke, and a flat note at that.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
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.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
