On time and in good condition

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This product was delivered on time, I think it actually might have been a little early. It was also in very good condition when it got here. The disc had no problems.

OK comedy for casual viewing. Rent it, or buy it cheap.

 Album Rating: (3 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This is a light comedy good for casual viewing. I picked it up on suggestion from a friend. My cost to buy was about what I'd pay to rent it, so I just got it. It has its moments. If you don't set your expectations too high, you'll like it.

Best freaking movie ever.

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: There are only a few people who can capture late 30's camp this well, and the Brothers are among those people. It's witty, quick and endearing. I love Tim Robbins and Leigh is incredible (and hot) throughout the whole movie. AND... it's got Bruce Campbel in it... for any of you fans out there.

Be Prepared for a Very Fun Movie

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: The "Hudsucker Proxy" is without a doubt, very fun. With their first comedy since "Raising Arizona", the Coen Brothers create a highly stylistic film. In terms of this style, two adjectives come to mind to describe the whole feel of this film, surreal and comic book-like. I would go as far as saying that this film is the most stylistic of the Coen Brothers first six films, because these two adjectives (surreal and comic book-like) penetrate every angle, character, facial expression and word.

Why you will like this movie: (No Major Spoilers)
1.)Paul Newman (of "Cool Hand Luke", "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", a dozen other great films, and delicious "Newman's Own" food products) is in it.
2.) Tim Robbins is in it.
3) In the very beginning a man climbs his desk, runs and leaps to his death out of his office building.
4.) There is a battle between good and evil (Newman's Henchman and the Clock Tower worker).
5.) A hysterical scene of children mesmerized by a little boy using the Hula Hoop for the first time.
6.) Fast talking New Yorkers.
7.) Excellent movie sets.

Three Star Cohen Bros

 Album Rating: (3 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: The Hudsucker Proxy is somewhat formulaic in the way it delivers it's story, with nothing really surprising in much of the plot or stylized windy dialogue. It's not bad, but it's not great either. Thankfully it throws in one or two curve-balls, but there are more forced laughs than clever moments. I'd give it three stars for the three stars: Newman, Robbins and Leigh. It does take a few unconventional turns in reaching it's predictable ending, but outside the hula-hoop, there's not much of a twist in this story.
