MARCI X  
Released by Paramount Entertainment.  Available to Rent from 20 May 04 

Stars: Damon Wayans, Lisa Kudrow

Extras: No 

A He Says She Says review by Knowles and Knowles 

When Mr Feld has a heart attack he needs someone to step in and manage his business interests, one of which is record label “Felony Assault”.  His daughter Marci decides to step in and take up the slack.  When a very vocal leading media watchdog and Senator begins to protest against one of the artists signed to the label saying that his lyrics are obscene Marci decides to step in and get him to apologise.  Rap artist Dr S introduces Marci to a world she didn’t know existed and in the process they learn how to work together to beat the Senator and save Mr Felds’ business empire from bankruptcy.    

She says This lightweight movie verged on the silly at times, Damon Wayons best contribution to Marci X was his biceps, looking like he was on the verge of laughing throughout much of it, he does have one good scene when he sings his rap song Power in My Pants complete with pant related fireworks. Lisa Kudrow as the spoilt Jewish princess was just painfully bad though.

He says As hard as this was to watch, we resisted the urge to Fast Forward. Looking back, this was a bad decision on our part. Not one of the famous actors that appear was able to pull this story out of the downward spiral that begins early on. The story has no bite, little humour, and overdone stereotypes. The actors are stiff, and play directly to their stereotypes rather than against them. You have to feel sorry for the actors in this movie. Viewers can see it and forget about it the minute it finishes, but the cast are going to have to live with this for the rest of their lives.

No Extras.
