Summary: Jennifer Jason Leigh is amazing!
Review: Jennifer Jason Leigh is so amazing in this movie. This movie tries to be one of those old screwball comedies from the 30's and 40's. It does it very well and Jennifer Jason Leigh does it perfectly. Her intelligent, loud, deep-voice, fast-talking, wise-cracking, head-strong character reminded me so much of Katharine Hepburn in films like "Holiday" and "The Philadelphia Story". She even got the accent right. I thought there could never be another Katharine Hepburn, but Jennifer Jason Leigh has almost nailed it. Amazing! Who would have thought that that young blond actress from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" would have come so far? I'm really impressed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Best Movie No One Has Ever Heard Of
Review: Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Paul Newman are perfect in this great comedy from the Coen Brothers. It's clever, funny, and definitely worth seeing especially if you like the Coen Brothers' movies.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: Frank Capra, Ernst Lubitsch and Preston Sturges, move over

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: STYLISH JOEL COEN
Review: Joel Coen shows in this film all his talent and creativeness. It is very stylish and visual - because in the movies, the eyes are more important than the ears. For viewers who enjoy camera movements, this film is delightful, there is a lot of them. The suicide scene in the beginning is amazing. The movie may remind you of the Terry Gilliam's film "Brazil", for its fantastic and strange climate. Jennifer Jason Leigh makes an impressive and surprising acting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious Fairytale
Review: This film is a wonderful twentieth century fairy-tale. This movie at one point actually reduced me to rolling around on the ground with laughter (the plexiglass still brings a smile to my face). I cannot recommend this film highly enough. One of the Coen brother's finest works.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Underrated Classic
Review: I'm always amazed at how DIFFERENT each of the Coen brothers' movies are. I think they themselves are such big movie fans, that they love to pay homage to all of their favorite genres. "Hud" is a tribute to the fast-talking screwball comedies of the 30's and 40's, even though it's set in the 50's. (It's Rosalind Russell that Jennifer Jason Leigh imitates, not Hepburn.) Great work by Leigh and Tim Robbins, as well as by supporting actors Charles Durning and Paul Newman. Even the most minor characters, such as elevator operators and janitors are given unexpected depth and wit.
