Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    It's no masterpiece, but I found it consistently good-hearted and sometimes hilarious, and the sparse crowd I saw it with was laughing as much as I was, especially at the outrageous rap numbers.

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    A talent-stuffed assemblage of barbs and giddy musical numbers that shouldn't be written off as a feature flop -- but savored instead for the cult-ready collection of late-night satirical skits and misses it is.

  • Jon Caramanica, Village Voice

    Sports woefully outmoded cultural punchlines.

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    The term 'wildly uneven' doesn't come close to charting the peaks and valleys of Marci X.

    Quite literally has one laugh and not a clue about its targets.

  • Sunil J


    I saw this because it had Lisa Kudrow and actually thought it was pretty funny.
