grain j Cast is great, plot is good, worth a watch Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Anthony m Am I the only one that realizes that this movie was the direct inspiration or borderline rip-off for Adam Sandler’s movie Mr. Deeds? Great film and so was Sandler’s but you cannot ignore the premise being identical. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 51 minutes!!!!!!

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Tristan P. The Coen Brothers have made a lot of unique and memorable movies over the years, but this one has to be their most fascinating one by far, in my opinion. “Burn After Reading”, “Intolerable Cruelty”, “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs”, “Barton Fink”, “Hail, Caesar”, “A Serious Man”, etc… are all underrated movies that they have made in their lifetime that don’t get talked about enough, but this one in particular is one that not everyone has ever heard of before or even seen before. And I think it needs more attention. This movie reminds me a lot of “Brazil” with its odd camera work and its strong production design and costumes. Even though “Brazil” takes place in the not-so-distant future and this film takes place in the late 1950s. Despite that, I still felt the influence during watching this movie. It still blows my mind that Warner Brothers actually took a risk on this film. And still to this day, it stands as the only Warner Brothers movie to be written and directed by the Coen Brothers. Tim Robbins is a very talented actor and is always very entertaining and funny when he is given the right material. And his performance in this film is just the right amount of funny and heartwarming. Jennifer Jason Leigh has always been an underrated actress, in my opinion. And she gives a pretty solid performance here, as a charismatic yet very strong wiled news reporter. All the other actors are great in this film, too. Paul Newman is a national treasure and for a good reason. And of course he deliverers a great performance as the big, mean boss of the company, and relishes every bit of it. Bruce Campbell is also really good in a very small role. Overall, this is a good movie and one that should be watched by more people and hardcore film fans. It is not a movie that will appeal to everyone, but it does need to be seen at least once. Especially if you are a Coen Brothers fan, like me. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Farah R An unconventional period piece with just enough creativity to mask its peculiarity, The Hudsucker Proxy makes for an interesting watch. The sets and costumes beautifully depict 1950s New York, and the exaggerated performances and fast dialogue are reminiscent of movies of that era. Tim Robbins gives it his all, but the lines between whimsical and absurd are contanstly crossed. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Shay W Do I like it? Sure, sure.
