Marci X (2003)

Pretty Good

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I was looking on the business tab and it was weird. This film cost $20-million?Where did the money go? Was it for the crack that the writers smoked when putting this script together? That makes sense... given Chris Rock saying that he would just have soon had received an envelope full of crack than this script (on the fun facts tab).Looking at the business, it seems the film made under $5-million. That means it lost $15-million. Yikes! From the entertainment perspective, it took a lot of suspension of disbelief and ignoring blatant stereotypes and lapses in logic in order to try and extract the few drops of humor out of this film.

I don't know how to begin with that! I mean what to comment on first? The lousy acting? The poor script?... I am sure that this film (such as many others) has just been "made" so we can say; There are definitely more hilarious "things" that exist in life... And that is this film. (if it can be regarded as a real film) It's a total waste of time! It's just awful and doesn't have a point. Besides the ending is so expected; The spoiled girl ends up with the bad guy who changes because of her and so does she! Bla,bla,bla... How common! And the rest of the film is definitely nothing special. When the film ends, the first thing that comes to your mind is; I want back these 84 minutes of my life! Trust me, it's a total waste of time! DON'T WATCH THIS..."FILM"!

I was trying to decide on whether I should rent this movie or not. Usually you'll see a few bad reviews from people who were not part of the target demo for the movie. But the number of bad reviews and the degree of anger from some of the reviewers suggest that maybe I should save myself my two hours? Here's what I can't understand. How did Scott Rudin allow this movie to be made. Did he think the demos in the U.S. had suddenly shifted so that 40% of the U.S. population were either JAPs or parents of one. And the treatment of the "hip-hop" crowd is offensive, and I didn't even see the movie.In this day and age of market research testing prior to launch, you gotta wonder how did this ever see the light of day? Rudin should clean house after this $20 million bomb.

I think it's unfair of some of those people to accuse Marci X of being boring,etc., because like the person that has posted a comment before me, not everyone has the same opinions. I for one, agree with him/her because I think the songs were funny and amusing, like "The Power in My Pants", "The Power in My Purse", "Let's Date", and the last song in the end of the movie. The dancing scene of the senator was funny too. I liked the guys in Boys'R'US. Overall, it's a great movie, and it's not that bad. I definitely think it deserves a higher score, like 7-10. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a good laugh. :)
