The Coen brothers are notorious for their absolutely bizarre but interesting movies. From crazy serial killers basing several of the murders on a coin toss to playwrights with writer's block meeting the devil. Nevertheless, The Coen brothers have never ceased to... Full review

wow, this was a strange movie. its extremely corny and sort of childish. it's hard to tell exactly who the intended audience is, but its still pretty enjoyable. the single best aspect of the movie is jennifer jason leigh. her fast-talking... Full review

Talk about an idiotic film! I couldn't keep still while watching it. I wanted to do something else. The story was so lame I couldn't stand it. In fact, I turned it off several times because I didn't want to see... Full review

As a huge Cohen brother fan I am obviously biased to some degree. The Hudsucker Proxy is one of their quirkiest movies, but also one of their most memorable. Tim Robbins and Paul Newman are excellent, and carry this movie well.... Full review

Despite the familiarity of that plot, nothing about ``The Hudsucker Proxy'' is predictable. Leigh is also delightful, as are a number of supporting players, most notably Durning. ... Full Review

Washington Post
Another ultra-stylized movie-about-movies by the Cannes-winning Coen Brothers, "Hudsucker" is clever but cold, a heartless mechanical gizmo. So the technically perfect "The Hudsucker Proxy" has a dazzling retro-futuristic look, but too little of the human exuberance and charm that made their beloved '40s films so enduring and endearing. ...

If something brilliant is happening in "The Hudsucker Proxy" -- and you're meant to believe that it is -- it's apparent only to Ethan and Joel Coen. Hudsucker," which stars Tim Robbins, Paul Newman and Jennifer Jason Leigh, is so full of busy, smart-aleck construction, producer Ethan Coen should have applied for a building permit. ...

And "Hudsucker" is a pleasure to regard. Angel: This is the best-looking movie I've seen in years, a feast for the eyes and the imagination. Devil: But the problem with the movie is that it's all surface and no substance. ... Full Review

TV Guide Entertainment Network,
Beautifully designed and costumed, THE HUDSUCKER PROXY is a curiously arid movie, clever without being witty.....One could blame the performances, which are almost all too broad, but the real trouble lies elsewhere:.... ... Full Review
