Paul Rudnick provides the script for the Scott Rudin-produced comedy Marci X, directed by Richard Benjamin. The new song "Shoot Ya' Teacha" by controversial hardcore rapper Dr. S. (short for Dr. Snatchcatcher, played by Damon Wayans) causes a public outcry. The stress causes a heart attack for the owner of the hardcore rap record label Felony Assault (played by director Benjamin). It's up to his stylishly sunny daughter Marci (Lisa Kudrow) to take over his business. She tries to rescue the

It's no masterpiece, but I found it consistently good-hearted and sometimes hilarious, and the sparse crowd I saw it with was laughing as much as I was, especially at the outrageous rap numbers.
If the context of Marci X were more realistic, a lot of these gags would soar. But the context is drag-show dinner theater.
A talent-stuffed assemblage of barbs and giddy musical numbers that shouldn't be written off as a feature flop -- but savored instead for the cult-ready collection of late-night satirical skits and misses it is.
Sports woefully outmoded cultural punchlines.
The term 'wildly uneven' doesn't come close to charting the peaks and valleys of Marci X.
The spoofs in Marci X are so old and dated, it boggles the imagination to think of what group might still be offended them.
Seemingly endless movie.
Marci X is the kind of terrible movie I'm almost glad I've seen, because this decade probably won't bring a worse movie than this.
It's the kind of movie that Mel Brooks used to make, warts and all.
Good transfer but no supplemental materials. Strictly for die-hard fans of La Kudrow.
A sketch comedy that misses more than it hits.
Como algum estúdio pôde aprovar este roteiro? Como os atores aceitaram participar do projeto? Como este conseguiu ser lançado? Como Benjamin pode ser chamado de 'cineasta'?
Suggests a sort of Judeo-Nubian alliance that would supposedly make uptight WASP's quake with fear. I think.
A more blithe display of astonishingly clueless anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, and sheer bad taste has not been seen since probably ever.
Draw a big red "X" through this one.
The fatal flaw of Marci X is its complete and total disconnect from the contemporary zeitgeist of hip-hop culture in American society.
A bad joke that turns out to be a bad movie as well.
Quite literally has one laugh and not a clue about its targets.

I saw this because it had Lisa Kudrow and actually thought it was pretty funny.
