When protest breaks out over Dr. S's new CD, the owner of the rapper's record label, Ben Feld, is hospitalized by a heart attack. But his pampered daughter Marci, who's never set foot in the business world, steps in, stands up to Dr. S, and tries to tone down his bad-boy edge.

Critics Consensus

The material is too thin for feature-length and the jokes are socially outdated and clueless.

Wesley Morris

Boston Globe

Marci X, though, is just clueless and sad, seemingly having missed the point that hip-hop is no longer a novelty to be slapped on the cheek with a white glove.

[it] might better have been called Marci Why.

AV Club

Rudnick can be an extraordinarily clever writer, but he doesn't seem to understand that a screenplay has to entail more than a series of skit ideas strung together.

The running theme through "Marci X" is, "You've got to be real." But there's nothing real about the characters in this dismal comedy. Even as a satire, it fails because the filmmakers don't understand the subject they're satirizing.

Rated: 1.5/4

Bowling Green Daily News

Here's a film that proves no matter how talented the performers, if the script is junk, then the final result will be junk.

This is a messy disaster at which you can only scratch your head and mutter, "What were they thinking?"

On pourrait croire à l'enfer avec ce synopsis résumé sur l'affiche, même si la présence de Damon Wayans rassure. Et pourtant Marci X est bien un pensum interminable (pourtant d'1h18) déguisé en romcom débile entre une riche juive new-yorkaise et un gangsta rapper. Si quelques phrases ici et là peuvent faire sourire (quasiment entièrement grâce à Jane Krakowski), Marci X est un facepalm fait film, un amoncellement incroyable de clichés qui oscillent entre l'ignorance et le pur et simple racisme, qui n'a absolument rien à dire sur son sujet et qui se contente de s'appuyer sur Lisa Kudrow et de reléguer Damon Wayans au second plan. Bien évidemment, comme prévu, ça ne marche absolument pas. Marci X n'est pas une horreur, mais on n'en est pas loin.

I was a bit shocked at how corny some of the scenes got. It shocks even more that something like this could get a green light and actually get made.
