The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)Directed by Joel Coen, rated PG, 111 minutes
The Hudsucker Proxy is a charming and stylish fantasy-comedy homage to screwball comedies, about a naive young business graduate with plans of making it big with his toy invention, who is made president of a manufacturing company in a stock scam. The acting is purposefully over the top but it captures the feeling of an old comedy, and the whole cast, including Tim Robbins, Paul Newman, Bruce Campbell and Jennifer Jason Leigh, is spot-on. The lightning fast dialogue is terrifically hilarious, and the Coen brothers (the writer-directors) always include a bunch of funny and odd characters. The Hudsucker Proxy has a delightful fairy tale feel
and a story that couldn't be more fun to watch play out. You'll like it if: You like screwball comedies, the Coen Brothers' films, The Big Lebowski or Ed Wood.
