Ploydsge just watch it!
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
elshikh4 This is so nice comedy. Few times when I watch a movie and feel so good about it to the extent that I wish, while watching, that it keeps itself the way it is till the end. This time this high feel it gives kept present but maybe not to the very end.I wasn't satisfied with the climax at the court; being very short, unconvincing, and not that hilarious. In fact the third act of the movie was nothing but recycling all the possible uses of "in the butt" as a song, a joke, whatever.. endlessly! But. There are so many good points in here. (Damon Wayans) looks great as Dr. S, parodying so many pop icons (did you notice the voice of Snoop Dogg ?). (Lisa Kudrow), the real comic talent out of Friends' cast, is nearly playing her character from that TV show, but it worked finely. Unlike many blind reviews, there was some chemistry between the 2 leads, I hated every scene that didn't have them both. The rest of the characters were so funny, cartoonish and satiric (the 3 girl friends, the Boys R Us boy band, the jail's rap producers, the Latino young Diva,..).And when it comes to the songs then we're talking about the most brilliant element. The song's lyrics were extremely smart, enjoyable and will live long indeed. This could've been so memorable musical. Or maybe it is yet in spoofing sort of way. (The Power in Purse) or the 2 different versions of the Boys R Us' song,..etc. I don't run into this bright spirit much. The dialog wasn't less good. The droll lines are many (..It was his birthday !!). Plus, there is a scene where Dr. S asks his love about something she doesn't tell to anybody as secret she'd expose to the dearest one, like her weight, and when she refuses he convinces her that she can tell him only because one clear reason: he's the one who doesn't care. This is a very delicate dialog people. Rarely when we hear anything like it in any comic movie, or rather a movie, nowadays!What I really love about this movie is its way of dealing with its subject. It exploits the modern pop scene to produce laughs. And its cleverness wasn't in the way of producing laughs out of it inasmuch as being neutral. It'll find viewers who love the "butt" thing, and others who hate it, and you know what ? It is capable of satisfying both! It wouldn't analyze why the rap songs are so lewd and violent, or is it the white foundation, or the black one, that wants and invests that, because it just lampoons everybody.I don't know about being in the IMDb's 100 bottom movies ?!!!! It's shameful, and I do mean the IMDb's reviewers and their taste ! Maybe it's a war between companies and they hired hundreds of people to curse it everywhere!! It sure doesn't hit high as (It's Mad Mad Mad World), or hit lower like (Dude, Where's My Car). It's something in between. Well, something good as a light romantic comedy, with a lot to show as well about a culture that loves to be in the butt of all things. However that doesn't apply to the movie itself! Finally, I don't know at all how in god's name the producers wanted (Chris Rock) in the role of (Dr. S) ??!! He's totally unfunny and so unsexy (so how to handle a scene where he dazzles the women only by his sexual charisma ?!). Aside from that, this unbearable comedian said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly "It's the worst script I've ever gotten... I'd have been happier getting an envelope full of anthrax." ..Well, I'd have been happier myself!
Shashank bhargava Remember ..how actors say that some movies have ' not been their best work', well..this is nothing like that. This couldn't have been worse for Lisa Kudrow who I absolutely adore in F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Damon Wayans who I really like in 'My Wife And Kids'. This is a perfect example of a movie that is senseless, hopeless, meaningless, non enjoyable and a bad attempt to comedy. Any one who finds this funny and enjoyable or can entertain this film for a whole 2 hours can be only for two reasons : One- Awful Taste in almost all things and Second - Probably a bet involving a huge amount for who can actually survive the film. The only thing worth appreciating in how the actors manage to find jobs after the film was released.
heavy metal is the law That was my question after seeing like 20 minutes of Marci X.I don'tknow what you Americans are thinking, but if this is a portray of your mainstream pop culture, you are really f*cked up. I don't have anything against you people, but PLEASE!, stop bombarding us with these God-awful stinkers such as: Date Movie, Soul Plane, Adam Sandler's romantic "comedies",From Justin to Kelly and so on.What can I say about Marci x that hasn't been stated. Well, it disgusted me. It disgusted me the way in which people are stereotyped (white, black,latinos). C'mon, not every black people in U.S.A is a rapper or a criminal and not every white people is wealthy and conservative. The comedy in this film also disgusted me: not a single funny part!. This is way too much, taking into account that Damon Wayans has proved himself to be a good comedian. On the other hand, Phoebe stinks as usual.To sum up, Marci X is a disgusting Hollywood piece of s*it, which creates a racist decadent good-for-nothing version of American pop culture.Yo! American people,if you keep doing movies like Marci x, the world would find it easier to keep hating you.
Seth Nelson Who likes hip hop movies? I do! I know movies like "You Got Served," "In The Mix" and others are really good hip hop movies, but this movie is just as good! This one stars Damon Wayans, who is, of course, one of the Wayans Brothers! Y'all may know them from that show, as well as the movie "White Chicks" (a very funny story that makes you wonder, "What the...?)! If you don't like these kinds of movies, then you need a reality check! However, if you do like these kinds of movies, then nothing will happen! You'll be dancing to the movies! Dancing to the movies, baby! Dancing!Hip hop movies rock, baby!
