Very stylish. Very weird. Very good fun.

The Coen's take on the Capra-Corn era.

Unfunny. All the characters are awful and caricature-like (incredibly annoying.) The jokes are aimed at grandpas.

Probably the first Coens thing I ever saw, my memory of it is pretty vague but I do distinctly recall that it was mildly interesting, quite silly and a bit mean-spirited like most of what they do.

"you know, for kids"

the coens get a little too close to the burton/gilliam style, but it's still well worth watching, with some very memorable bits and great performances from Tim Robbins and Paul Newman.

Snickering, the Coens turn the portrait, "That'll be two hours, please." Capra reaches deep into his pockets, clasping at minutes. The burgeoning throng begin to cheer.

An OK Coens movie. Some parts are really boring, but after the second half it becomes very good. Then it gets a bit weird again. Not Coens best, but not their worst either. Thought parts were a bit annoying

It's certainly not bad, but I don't find it to be very good etiher - a strangely middling effort from the Coens.

Bringing humour, style, surreality and intrigue in equal quantities this Coen offering often portrays an almost Python-esque version of big business, be it with added throwbacks to some classic schools of filmmaking. Sadly the ending somewhat deteriorates, but before you are treated to plenty of cunningly devious dark humour and excellent performances by numerous participants, namely the leading Robbins. Despite being mean spirited Hudsucker provides solid, strangely infectious entertainment.
