Review of The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) by Hoss R — 01 Dec 2011
An okay Coen Brothers movie that never seems to quite find its footing. I enjoyed some of the surreal touches, the ending included, and of course it has that great look and sound that we come to expect.
However, when it veers into funny sometimes we're so taken aback we aren't sure we can laugh, and even the jokes that are there sometimes only get a chuckle because they're so dumb. Jennifer Jason Leigh, for all the fun she probably had making this, has two voices - and neither of them are convincing in the slightest.
The whole thing just fails to impress, squeezed between marvels like Barton Fink and Fargo.
