There is more to [Lisa] Kudrow—and "Marci X" proves it—than Phoebe Buffay...An unexpectedly sharp-nailed satire.

Reviews for Marci X
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.

Top CriticA 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.
08/27/03
Top CriticMarci X is silly, crude, juvenile and often very, very funny.
08/23/03
It's the kind of movie that Mel Brooks used to make, warts and all.
02/05/04
If you're looking for laughs, X doesn't mark the spot.

The actors had little to work with in this passe social satire, but sharper performances might have saved Marci from total humorless ruin.
08/25/03
Raunchy musical numbers and demeaning stereotypes overwhelm the film's feeble attempts at social satire about censorship and cultural diversity.
08/22/03
This is the kind of movie that would leave a hopeful crowd feeling let down, but might sparkle like a tiara in a trash can for someone who discovers it by chance.

[A] turkey.

Marci X proves once again that dumbing down the movie in order to please the lowest common denominator cannot go hand and hand with scathing satire.
08/22/03
If the context of Marci X were more realistic, a lot of these gags would soar. But the context is drag-show dinner theater.
08/30/03
A sketch comedy that misses more than it hits.
01/27/04
...a tremendously clumsy and disastrous dud for the ages...a staggeringly inept romp that plays like stale fodder in a nostalgic Luther Campbell/2Live Crew home movie.
08/26/03
Director Benjamin doesn't really handle the material with the outrageous excess it deserves, with the result that the proceedings seem far too mild.
08/25/03
So clueless about its subject that it's like being force-fed a 10-CD retrospective of Vanilla Ice's greatest hits...will send viewers fleeing up the aisles--faster than Seabiscuit.
