1) DVD DVD The Hudsucker Proxy by Warner Home Video. 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.¤ 2) DVD DVD The Hudsucker Proxy by Warner Home Video. 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.¤ 3) DVD DVD The Hudsucker Proxy by Warner Home Video. 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.¤ 4) DVD DVD The Hudsucker Proxy by Warner Home Video. 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.¤ 5) DVD DVD The Hudsucker Proxy by Warner Home Video. 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.¤ 6) DVD DVD The Hudsucker Proxy by Warner Home Video. 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. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/07/2005 Starring: Tim Robbins Jennifer Jason Leigh Run time: 111 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Joel Coen¤ 7) DVD DVD The Hudsucker Proxy by Warner Home 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¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 7-Jan-2009, 079074077X085391316626, 730-286-G2B-RMB-2VB-ETB-IIB-8
