Marci X

I couldn't believe that this movie was as bad as people were saying it was. Surely there must be some redeeming quality. Surely it could not be as cringe worthy, vomit inducing as they said...I was wrong. Way wrong. Almost every scene and line is painful. I love Lisa Kudrow. She gives it her all, but that's all I can say. What a sad time for our country.

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.

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.

When I saw this movie 3 years ago I was surprised at how awful it really was. I mean why the hell would you make this movie into a musical when none of the actors in it can sing? I thought this movie would be about Lisa Kudrow trying to act black, which would have been funny since she is the whitest girl I have ever seen, but the director decided not to go that route, like the title entails, and decided to make it into a romance musical which had a total of ONE funny moment. When Wayne's character starts singing "I wanna love you IN THE BUTT, IN THE BUTT, IN THE BUTT!!!" and all the backup singers had red targets painted on their rear ends. Thats about the only funny part of the movie, and you only laugh for a few seconds. Anyone who rated this movie a 10 either is a HUGE Waynes brother fan, or they love the smooth, sensual voice of Lisa Kudrow when she sings (FUBAR!)

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.
