They thought he was a fall guy. But he threw them for a hoop. The chairmans plan was to put a ding-dong at the head of hudsucker inc. then snap up the stock at a bargain price when it falls. But the plan didnt count on the fool chosen. Mailroom flunkie having an idea of his own. Its called the hula hoop.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Sucker for Hudsucker
Comment: This is the hidden gem of the Coens' ouevre - arguably on a par with Lebowski. Tight, witty, darkly humorous dialogue and outstanding performances by Tim Robbins, Paul Newman, and especially Jennifer Jason Leigh - with smaller, yet essential, roles by Charles Durning and Bruce Campbell. Even a peek of Steve Buscemi. Great score, fabulous art direction, and writing credits shared by the Coens and Sam Raimi. Buy it, and watch repeatedly.

Summary: On time and in good condition
Comment: This product was delivered on time, I think it actually might have been a little early. It was also in very good condition when it got here. The disc had no problems.
Customer Rating:
Summary: OK comedy for casual viewing. Rent it, or buy it cheap.
Comment: This is a light comedy good for casual viewing. I picked it up on suggestion from a friend. My cost to buy was about what I'd pay to rent it, so I just got it. It has its moments. If you don't set your expectations too high, you'll like it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best freaking movie ever.
Comment: 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.

Summary: Be Prepared for a Very Fun Movie
Comment: 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.
Why you will like this movie: (No Major Spoilers)
1.)Paul Newman (of "Cool Hand Luke", "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", a dozen other great films, and delicious "Newman's Own" food products) is in it.
2.) Tim Robbins is in it.
3) In the very beginning a man climbs his desk, runs and leaps to his death out of his office building.
4.) There is a battle between good and evil (Newman's Henchman and the Clock Tower worker).
5.) A hysterical scene of children mesmerized by a little boy using the Hula Hoop for the first time.
6.) Fast talking New Yorkers.
7.) Excellent movie sets.
