80. "The Hudsucker Proxy"
It's disappointing when a Coen brother's film disappoints. Maybe it wouldn't if I saw it before "O Brother".
"Hudsucker" is the story of a man who unknowingly becomes the fall guy for the "Hudsucker" corporation. On the small town boys first day at his new job in the mail room he ends up going to the 44th floor to deliver a feared 'Blue Letter' to the current VP. Through a series of wacky events, our guy becomes the new Pres.
It's very Frank Capra and that's intentional. Jennifer Jason Leigh plays a reporter straight out of "His Girl Friday." Tim Robbins does his best Jimmy Stewart. The parts just don't add up.
