If you know anything about the Wayans Family (headed by brother Keenan) you know that they have a way of spoofing that is at once offensive and hilarious at the same time. I missed this little feature but caught it on cable recently. The subject matter is totally off the wall but the actors really make it work. Lisa Kudrow is very good and shows her Friends "Phoebe" character to a tee. Christine Baranski is also a hoot as are Kudrow's princess friends. The fashions are hilarious as well. Damon Wayans does some characters that I don't particularly care for -- the disabled super hero is one -- and his younger brothers also are not my favorites. Remember, they also do the Scary Movie parodies. This one, however, is reminiscent of Bamboozled but better since Spike Lee has a tendency to lose his vision in the final third of a movie. This little film should be taken just for what it is - a broad parody with some genuine laughs. Dick Benjamin is also excellent in a dead pan role as Kudrow's father. I wouldn't buy this one but would definitely watch it again. If you liked BAPS (which I didn't particularly) then this one will work. Also in the same silly vein as the one about the white dude from Malibu who thought he was so down. I could also recommend a movie called Jackie Washington, another parody that is pretty funny.

I was trying to decide on whether I should rent this movie or not. Usually you'll see a few bad reviews from people who were not part of the target demo for the movie. But the number of bad reviews and the degree of anger from some of the reviewers suggest that maybe I should save myself my two hours? Here's what I can't understand. How did Scott Rudin allow this movie to be made. Did he think the demos in the U.S. had suddenly shifted so that 40% of the U.S. population were either JAPs or parents of one. And the treatment of the "hip-hop" crowd is offensive, and I didn't even see the movie.In this day and age of market research testing prior to launch, you gotta wonder how did this ever see the light of day? Rudin should clean house after this $20 million bomb.

Sitting around on a very slow Thursday evening and I didn't have anything better to do so I watched this with my wife.I'm certainly not going to watch it again, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There are some funny scenes, and the interaction between Wayans and Kudrow isn't always strained, although there are some scenes that looked like they both wanted to run away and hide from the script.Filled the time better than having a root canal surgery, that's for sure.Plot is thin to say the least, and except for about ten funny minutes, it did not really grab my attention.But, if your choice is root canal or Marci X, I'd go with Marci X, at least as long as it's on cable, and no rental fee is involved.
