{"product_id":"marci-x","title":"Marci X","description":"JAP meets rap in \"Marci X\", a feel-good comedy that was filmed in 2000 and shelved for three years. Despite its lowly fate, this cross-cultural satire has a respectable pedigree, written by \"In and Out\" screenwriter Paul Rudnick (A.K.A. \"Premiere\" magazine columnist \"Libby Gelman-Waxner\") and directed with surprising vitality by Hollywood veteran Richard Benjamin, who seems doomed to a string of flops. Lisa Kudrow is perfectly cast as a Jewish socialite whose corporate mogul father (Benjamin) is being ruined by controversy involving a raunchy hip-hop star (Damon Wayans) on his payroll, and an ultra-conservative senator (Christine Barnaski) who demands censorship and public apologies. Aided by Marc Shaiman's catchy spoof-songs, Rudnick and Benjamin earn some big laughs when Kudrow and Wayans hook up for some color-blind synergy, but \"Marci X\" never quite hits a groove. It was stale before its release, and toothless when it should have had bite. Still, it's recommendable as Benjamin's most ambitious comedy since 1982's \"My Favorite Year\". \"--Jeff Shannon\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000WN1MW\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.B0000WN1MW.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Veanne Cox|Christine Baranski|Paula Garcs|Charles Kimbrough|Jane Krakowski|Lisa Kudrow|Damon Wayans|Richard Benjamin|Billy Griffith|Sherie Rene Scott|Myk Watford\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: DVD Very Good - Case is in great condition.
