This is the movie I'd hoped they would make. It's a movie for fans of Glick and no one else. If you hate the TV show, you will hate this movie. I loved the TV show and this movie far exceeded my expectations.
Plot? None really. There is a murder mystery but it's really just the set up for a great David Lynch as Poirot "Let me explain who the murderer is in flashbacks" ending. Did I mention that Martin Short is the greatest impressionist working today. His David Lynch is astoundingly funny. "STABBED! STABBED! STABBED! STABBED!"
Next on the list of genius is Jan Hooks as Jiminy's muse "Dixie". She might have been funnier than Jiminy in the movie. The "purse" joke is a lowbrow highlight.
Vadim Jean deserves a lot of credit for directing this masterpiece. I assume the budget was pretty low but it doesn't come off that way on screen. Odd, yet not distracting, camera angles.
Again, if you loved the TV show, you will love the movie. If you hate everything related to Martin Short (I know there is a lot of you) then avoid this movie at all costs.
My only complaint: I would have killed Joey Stompanato myself to have Jiminy and Dixie record a commentary for the DVD. Maybe the Special Edition!!!!!!
