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

Marci X is silly, crude, juvenile and often very, very funny.
08/23/03
Bring lowered expectations to Marci X, and you could discover a mildly diverting comedy.
08/23/03
Watching Damon Wayans and Lisa Kudrow kiss, repeatedly, is simultaneously the grossest and most subversive thing I have seen in a long time.
08/23/03
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
The film is close to being an embarrassment, but Kudrow single-handedly almost turns the film around.
08/22/03
The material here is so slight that it is not enough to sustain an entire movie, and the absence of any comic energy whatsoever in Richard Benjamin's direction makes it seem endless even at a less than 90-minute running time.
08/22/03
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.

Raunchy musical numbers and demeaning stereotypes overwhelm the film's feeble attempts at social satire about censorship and cultural diversity.

FRIENDS made her rich; MARCI X should kill her career.
08/22/03
once-topical comedy that today feels like something out of the 'day-old' bin. It is not, however, the disaster its much-delayed release might indicate.
