Evidently, the character of Jiminy Glick originated on "The Martin Short Show." Encased in a fat suit, Short plays Glick, a small town entertainment reporter. He gets his big chance when sent to cover the Toronto Film Festival, so Glick, wife Dixie (Jan Hooks) and their two sons pack up the car.

Through a twist of luck, he meets a number of celebrities, including Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise, The Hunger), Sharon Stone (If These Walls Could Talk 2, Basic Instinct) and Whoopi Goldberg (Girl Interrupted, The Associate, Boys on the Side, The Color Purple, The Celluloid Closet, The Deep End of the Ocean, Whoopi: Back to Broadway, What Makes A Family).

One of the films he reviews is The Queens of Africa, a remake of The African Queen, only with two women and a lesbian love story. Glick interviews lead actress Miranda Coolidge (Elizabeth Perkins, If These Walls Could Talk 2) and then gets messed up in the investigation of her murder.

In a relatively small role, Coolidge's assistant Dee Dee (Janeane Garofalo, Half Baked, "The Larry Sanders Show") is a lesbian and sleeping with the actress' daughter Natalie (Linda Cardellini). For Xena fans, Robert Trebor (Salmoneus in "Xena") also shows up for a few seconds of screen time.

There are a few funny moments, and more that are on the edge of funny, but just not enough.
