Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
"How about Oklahoma?" Tim Robbins to Jennifer Jason Leigh, after she slaps him for suggesting "The King and I" THE HUDSUCKER PROXY is the most technically accomplished film that you're likely to see this year. And it's also the coldest. Courtesy of a ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)

Uber-quirky but strangely satisfying Coen escapade, skewering the world of big business (at least as it existed in the 1950s), as a company schemes to drive the price of the stock down by installing an imbecile (Tim Robbins) as president. This isn't ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
Movie Martyr (Jeremy Heilman)
In The Hudsucker Proxy the Coen brothers tackle the genre of classic American studio-produced comedy. It talks like the 30’s, looks like the 40’s and is set in a 50’s New York that only exists as the workplace. The film, like any film by the Coens, is ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at Movie Martyr (Jeremy Heilman)
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
"Out of hope, out of rope, out of time." - William Cobbs in the opening narration of The Hudsucker Proxy Tim Robbins has a knack for finding his way into superior satires. After taking the lead role in Robert Altman's The Player and starring in his own b ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
This epically-budgeted, almost unclassifiable comedy of the bizarre
comes from the Coen Brothers of Blood Simple (1983), Raising Arizona
(1987), Barton
Fink (1991), Fargo (1996), The Big Lebowski (1998), O Brother, Where Art Thou ? (2000), The Man ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Neither the Coen brothers nor Sam Raimi are regarded as particularly mainstream, and The Hudsucker Proxy is the first big-budget motion picture from them. Hopefully, the eclectic reputations of the filmmakers will not limit the movie's box ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

A thoroughly entrancing visual and technological extravaganza, The Hudsucker Proxy takes the story of a children's toy further than ever seems possible. On a snowy New Year's Eve in New York, every inhabitant (rich to poor) is celebrating in the hope of ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at Movie Reviews UK

Ted Prigge
Playing as a kind of parody of the Frank Capra films of the 30s and 40s, as well as a semisatire of 40s industrialism, and general bluecollar working, "The Hudsucker Proxy" presents a surreal vision of the world of the past, filled with the wacky, ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at Ted Prigge

Your choice will probably tell you all you need to know about how you would react to THE HUDSUCKER PROXY. Coen brothers fans will revel in their delightfully offcenter perspective and their twisted sense of humor; their detractors will grouse over their ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at Scott Renshaw

EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)
A pastiche of a comedy that lacks authenticity and identity, made of parts borrowed (or lifted) from Capra, Hawks, and Sturges, with Jennifer Jason Leigh paying tribute (in unsuccessful accent) to the actresses of yesteryear's screwball comedies ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)

What Hudsucker Proxy does have is stunning visual sets, all based on a 1930's Art Deco style. As wonderful as the images are, after thirty minutes, they become boring and you start yearning for more story and less stupidity. The video box says ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at Parent Previews

The film takes place in an Art Deco New York of the Fifties, a world of giant boardrooms and snappy hats, where the monolithic Hudsucker Corporation makes jillions of dollars making... something. But all is not well. After the most recent declaration of ...read the complete Hudsucker Proxy movie review at Serdar Yegulalp
