The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)
Should I see it?
No.



Most artists fall flat on their faces at least once. The Coen Bros. (Intolerable Cruelty, Fargo, Blood Simple) perform a serious face plant with this outing. Tim Robbins keeps to his apparent demand not to make any film better than Shawshank Redemption. He portrays a doofus who ends up running a corporate empire in this less than amusing comedy. More visually interesting than actually interesting.

yeah, definitely a style-over-story outing. I enjoyed some of the fun parts, though I wouldn't have called this "comedy"--maybe black comedy, though; it was sarcastic, but not humorous, I thought. Morgan Freeman is an easy sell on me, though, and noirish steam-punk elements were cool in this one a bit before they were dime-a-dozen. No, not a great movie. Certainly not in the "don't miss it" category. But if you turned "Yes/No" into "Yes10 to No10" this would be about a "Yes2" on my scale....
