Uptown Gets Downtown
Lisa Kudrow is ""luminous" and Damon Wayans "gives a performance of immense charm" in this hilarious film about a culture clash between a hip hop artist and a born-to-shop socialite.
Marci Feld (Kudrow) doesn't know about rap...she thinks it's what salespeople do in the ritzy boutiques where she shops. But everything changes after rapper Dr. S (Wayans) releases a controversial CD for the record label owned by Marci's ailing father (Richard Benjamin). When the music ignites a national protest against her father and his company, Marci decides to step in and save his reputation and the family business!
With her posse of pampered girlfriends and her designer bag stuffed with credit cards, Marci sets out to clean up Dr. S's act. To succeed, she'll have to take on hostile reporters, a power-hungry senator (Christine Baranski), and Dr. S's dangerous girlfriend, Yo Lo.
Bursting with laughs and rousing musical performances, Marci X is one comedy "you won't want to miss."
