Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
The Coen brothers (Raising Arizona, Fargo) have become the most consistently original filmmakers in the land. In a salute/reworking of the fast-talking comedies of the '40s, we follow Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins) and his amazing rise to the top. But he's only a puppet for the evil Sidney J. Mussburger (Paul Newman), who wants the company for himself. The Coens' design is the real star, and their first big-budget film will stimulate movie fans. The story weakens in the middle, but you will find very few films that move with this much imagination. As a Kate Hepburn hybrid, Jennifer Jason Leigh is wonderful in an almost unplayable role. The less you know about the film, the better it plays, so just think of it as How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying mixed with Brazil and every journalistic drama made before 1960. Cowritten by Sam Raimi. --Doug Thomas

- Best freaking movie ever.
There are only a few people who can capture late 30's camp this well, and the Brothers are among those people. It's witty, quick and endearing. I love Tim Robbins and Leigh is incredible (and hot) throughout the whole movie. AND... it's got Bruce Campbel in it... for any of you fans out there.

- Be Prepared for a Very Fun Movie
The "Hudsucker Proxy" is without a doubt, very fun. With their first comedy since "Raising Arizona", the Coen Brothers create a highly stylistic film. In terms of this style, two adjectives come to mind to describe the whole feel of this film, surreal and comic book-like. I would go as far as saying that this film is the most stylistic of the Coen Brothers first six films, because these two adjectives (surreal and comic book-like) penetrate every angle, character, facial expression and word.

- Three Star Cohen Bros
The Hudsucker Proxy is somewhat formulaic in the way it delivers it's story, with nothing really surprising in much of the plot or stylized windy dialogue. It's not bad, but it's not great either. Thankfully it throws in one or two curve-balls, but there are more forced laughs than clever moments. I'd give it three stars for the three stars: Newman, Robbins and Leigh. It does take a few unconventional turns in reaching it's predictable ending, but outside the hula-hoop, there's not much of a twist ... Read More

- Don't see it
I have loved almost every Coen Bros movie I've seen, and consider most of them all-time classics, (Raising Arizona, Millers Crossing, Fargo, the Big Lebowski, etc etc). So it was with great eagerness that I popped this one into the DVD player! Let me tell ya, (Bub!- haha... not), it's a rare film that I can't sit thru. This one I had to turn off about 1/2 way thru. It just rubbed me the wrong way.

Judging from the reviews, lots of people seemed to enjoy this movie. So don't take my ... Read More
