She had a bit of momentum from Opposite of Sex and Analyze This before that but she only did indies from here on out.

Marci X (2003) — Budget, $20 million. Box office, $1,675,706. Completed in 2001, Marci X was criticized heavily on release for its dated stereotypes of Jews, blacks and hip-hop culture. Chris Rock, who was offered to play the male lead in this movie, stated he'd "rather have gotten an envelope of anthrax" than read the film's script. This is the final theatrical film from director Richard Benjamin and one of the last films written by Paul Rudnick. The only films Benjamin has directed since are TV movies.

I do not know about what it did to Lisa's career, but I do know that "Marci X" is my favorite movie ever! Before I saw it, my favorite movie was "The Frisco Kid" with Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford. "Marci X" pushed "The Frisco Kid" to second place in my opinion. Since all of this took place, one movie has tied with "The Frisco Kid" as my second favorite. This is the "Mamma Mia!" movie. In any event, my favorite song is "The Power in my Purse" performed by Lisa Kudrow. Before I saw this movie, my favorite song was "Dancing Queen".
