Saw a commercial for this the other night. I never even knew about this film before. It looks terrible. Is this yet another movie that's been sitting on the shelf and dumped in late August like so many other dogs?

I haven't seen Marci I thru Marci IX, so I guess I'll skip this one at well. Shouldn't they give this franchise a rest?

Brain Stew

This movie looks horrifically dated. It looks about 8 years too old to be topical.

Hokeyboy

Wow.

Lisa Kudrow + Damon Wayans + Late August Release = RECIPE FOR DISASTER

Scrotilia nuggets, but for sure.

DonnachaOne

You joking? If this turns out to be the monster hit they're expecting, in 2004 we'll finally have Marci Vs. Malcolm.

I think I read that this has been done for almost 2 years

effigy

Indeed.

And even 10 years ago it'd be terrible.

Rogue588

surely there's a adjective stronger than bad that you could've used...

Daytripper

Believe you me, I wanted to. Gotta watch what I say though. I was severly scolded in another thread by a Mod wanna be for basically spelling out snafu (referencing a problem I had with a video company who dumped a defective movie on the public, and are ignoring all e-mails and phone calls to get it corrected) Anyway, how about this: "Marci X" looks like poo poo (?)

DRG

Worst comedy trailer since Pluto Nash, IMO. The jokes are so horrible I thought to myself "If this is the good stuff, how bad is the stuff they're NOT showing us?"

KTIK

CB4 wants it's plot back.

jiggawhat

This movie makes 6 million tops.

freedexter

Fixed it for you.

I think the "Late August Release" is extraneous.

j123vt_99

which makes more? this movie or giglli?

KTIK

This movie will make more, probably in the first week, sadly.

Hokeyboy

Groiny?

Funny how you guys talk about how terrible it is and none of you have actually seen it... well, okay then. This time you're right. It's pretty awful. Not that I didn't laugh alot though - it's really funny. I can't think of the proper target audience for it though. Worth seeing for free - especially if you're high. It's the kind of movie that puts that confused look on your face every 5 minutes and then you laugh cuz you don't know what else to do.

At least we (those who actually go) get to see Damon reprise his character "T-Bone" from Colors. It's the same voice, mannerisms and everything.

Trigger

oh yeah... i didn't even think of that.

Marci X is 1 hour and 13 minutes? That's the length of most cartoon movies.
