Movie Review: The Hudsucker Proxy
The Short: When Norville Barnes finds himself applying for a job at Hudsucker Industries, he's in for more than he bargained for. Not that working in the mailing room was bad enough, when Mr. Hudsucker himself leaps to his death, second-in-command Sidney J. Mussberger must find an idiot to take Hudsuckers place, and it looks like Norville is just the man. If Mussberger's plan works, he and the members of the board will make it rich as the stock prices fall, under the poor leadership of Norville Barnes.
The Good: I really wasn't expecting myself to enjoy this film. But I thought I'd give it a try. And it turned out to be one of my favorite films I've seen all month. From the lush settings to the Norman Rockwell-esque characters, from elegant camera swivels to a perfectly fitting score, this film was in my opinion, a masterpiece.
The Bad: Norville's love interest is one of the most annoying ladies on the face of the earth.
The Overalls: I really, really enjoyed this film, and I'd definately recommend it to anyone. It was very funny, maybe a little touching, and definately kept your interest.
