I, Martin Short, Goes Hollywood

About This Movie

So, there's this HBO special from '89 featuring Martin Short, and it's quite the interesting blend of sketches and musical numbers. It’s like a fever dream of Hollywood with Short's signature characters like Ed Grimley and Lawrence Orbach popping up, which is a real treat for fans of SCTV. The pacing is all over the place, but in a good way; it keeps you on your toes. The atmosphere is whimsical, with a bit of a satirical edge about the entertainment industry. You can really see the camaraderie with his fellow SCTV alumni throughout, which adds a nice layer. It's not just comedy; there's a real sense of experimentation here that feels distinctly '80s.
