Marci X

...for one simple reason-they aren't responsible for the worst movie ever made anymore. Weak set-ups fizzle into non-humor and bland plot scenarios roll downhill slowly toward the expected conclusions. It's sort of like staring at traffic for 90 minutes-you tune out the cars and the noise and start thinking about being anywhere else.

I was very disappointed with this movie. I really had high expectations. The story had definite potential but maybe it would have done better with different actors. Damon Wayans ( while extremely funny in movies such as Major Payne and as the father on the TV show "My Wife & Kids") was not at all convincing as the hard core rapper he was supposed to be portraying. Nor was Lisa Kudrows' performance as a sheltered socialite very funny at all. There were a few scenes that were kind of humorous but that's about it. The story is flat and predictable, the characters are under-developed. Don't waste your money on this one. Not really worth the rental fee. Sorry.

since i was fortunate enough to avoid both gigli and from justin to kelly, i thought i would be able to go all summer without seeing how truly horrible some of the movies are that hollywood continues to churn out each week, but then i saw marci x.

while obviously this one wasn't going to win any oscars, i thought it would at least be somewhat humorous, but i couldn't have been more wrong. while i realize that writer paul rudnick was trying to parody a few other things/people throughout the story, this film is choked full of more stereotypes than i cared to count. the story line was ridiculously stupid and the acting was mediocre at best. i was honestly ready to walk out less than 15 minutes into the film.

overall, the most laughs my friends and i got out of this movie was making fun of how bad it was, after it was over.

if there are any questions about why hollywood isn't making any money, movies like this are your answer.

For what it purported to be, a musical comedy, it did ok. I'm no great fan of rap, so this had to be light. Of course, the courtroom scene was way over the top, but if you go back and look at some of those old Jane Powell musicals, they burst into song in the strangest places and any "spontaneous" dance is choreographed and well rehearsed, as are all the "numbers" in this one.

Of course, it's much easier and the motivation is stronger [I spent money for that!]to write a bad review than a good one, so trashing it is expected. Too bad the-powers-that-be at IMDB can't sort these into two headings instead of one generic because usually the bad reviews get in first. This'll be #29 and probably will never be read. "Que sera sera, y'all, I reckon," as they say in southern Italy.

First of all I thought that this movie was hilarious. I thought that the whole gansta rap thing was very funny. But having the gansta rap mixed with rich Jewish women was even funnier. I especially liked the power in her purse song lisa kudrow did. There were sorta corny jokes that were slipped in there that were hilarious like the ones her friends would add in. Such as when her friends would ask her if she has eaten anything and the jokes about heroin. The end was very funny because Marci becomes Marci X, her friends become hoes, Boyz R Us are out of the closet, Marci and Dr. S get together, etc. Overall I thought it was a great movie. The actors and actresses were great too.
