Rating: Summary: "Marci X" Review: This is one fun, wild, crazy comedy. Yea its over the top and kinda dumb but it is so funny! Lisa Kudrow is great is her role. The charecters are fantastic and colorful! This is an all around fun film! Very over looked! If you loved "Undercover Brother" and "Bringing Down the House" you'll love "Marci X"!

Rating: Summary: Stupid, But in a Good Way! Review: When talking about this movie the first word that comes to mind is "flop." And flop it did. Not even the famous faces of Lisa Kudrow and Damon Waynes could save the box office effect of Marci X. After being shelved for a little over a year, director and actor Richard Benjamin decided to bring the movie out this summer. There was no advance screenings and there was hardly any promotion for it. It made a quiet entrance and is making an even quieter exit. In openign weekend it failed to make more then 900,000 dollars. But I saw it. And needless to say, there were flaws. But it was funny. Parts of this movie were just so stupid that they made me laugh untill I was red in the face. When I went into the theatre I counted the amount of people that showed up for the evening show. There were about six, not including me and my mother, who saw the film with me and surprisly didn't fall asleep. The movie stars Lisa Kudrow as Marci Feld. She's rich, and doesn't have a job. She does however like to hang out with fellow rich friends Caitilen, Lauren, and Kristin. But during a social get together, her father Ben Feld(director Richard Benjamin) is interrupted because of a news report concerning him. Feld's empire holds Felony Assault, a record label, run by Tubby Fenders, who is in jail. Fenders artist Dr.S(Damon Waynes)has made a controversal album(song titles include Shoot the Teacher, and The Power in my Pants) Senator Mary Ann Spinkler(Vote for Spinker)decided to gather a group of people to boycott everything run by the man who controls Dr. S....Marci's father. This causes Ben to have a heart attack in the effect of this. She also holds a hearing about the matter. Ben is held in isolation so nothing in the media about him could cause him to get furthur heath problems. Marci decides to prepare for the hearing and try to get Dr. S to change his public image, while alone the way falling for Dr. S, angering his girlfriend Yolanda. From there Marci and Dr. S began the showdown with Spinkler, to try and save her father's company. I didn't have a problem with this movie. I thought it was funny and it offered an escape for an hour and a half. It's not a movie to really judge on it's artistic format, but to go out and have a good time with it. There are too many people that think it has to be serious to be a good movie. It's a matinee movie, heck mabey even a movie to pay full admission for. It's not as good as other summer comedies like My Boss's Daughter, but you leave the theatre feeling satisfied. So see a movie without all of the big Hollywood effects, or the great dazzling reviews, and go just expecting to have a good time. Lisa Kudrow and Damon Waybes(with his light voice) go perfectly together. I don't expect a sequal, I don't want a sequal, but seeing this movie was just fine. ENJOY! Rated R for language and sexual content.
