am i the only one who hated this?

the only complaint i'll make to you is that you are apparently the first person to start a topic saying you didnt enjoy it. haha

i just saw it for the second time and just enjoyed it really. it has humor in it, but to me its not laugh out loud funny. there are some interesting parts like the time stopping and hula-hoop/frisby inventions, not to mention it shows what happens when you're a famous businessman and you let your ego get to you. and there are recurring lines like the girl quitting and the elevator boy/Barnes being fired in the same way (crawling)

try it again and if you dont like it, so be it. doesnt affect me

Most people seem to either love or hate the Coen brother's movies. I love many of them, but Hudsucker's probably my favorite. Here are a few more Coen brother's movies people often hate, but I love, (particularly #1): (1) Barton Fink, (2) Raising Arizona (3) O Brother, Where Art Thou? (4) The Big Lebowski

("it was cheesy and boring! i abhorred it, but everyone i
know raves about it. i don't understand why.")

I know what you mean, I'm one of the few people in America who didn't care for The Dark Knight (actually I've never seen so many people get up and leave right in the middle of a movie before in my whole life!). But when I mention it on the internet, I get attacked, mercilessly. Oh well.

There are just some movies we aren't ready to appreciate yet.. This movie to me is very special.. and let me chirp in the usual hate for "tdk" just cause I can..

It's my understanding having replayed it for some the other day.. it's forgotten about.. If there’s one coen movie that gives me a bad taste in my mouth besides for the awful years of ladykillers/unfunny marriage movie.. it's Oh Brother Where are Though.. for some reason I too have not found much to appreciate about this movie yet..

Cheer up Saw 27 is out soon.

To add to sionxxii's reply...maybe Oceans 15 is more up your alley. Im sure that dreadful crap will be out soon.

One more friendship ends, and then for a while I can breathe again.

I'm with you. Had to turn it off after less than 15 minutes. I thought this movie was a great example of how great actors could fall flat on their faces with a lousy, unbelievable, way over-the-top script. At least I learned something - never rent a Coen Brothers movie ever again!

I didn't like it and I like a lot of Coen brothers films. I didn't like Jennifer Jason Leigh's performance either and I usually like everything she does. I didn't like Paul Newman or his character either!

Some things they do in this, and other films, are just not finely tuned and subtle enough; they clunk a little. I came to watch this film after feeling the same way about Burn After Reading.
I think you have to make a lot of not so good things to get tot he good things though.

You can't really hate this movie... dislike, yes. But not hate.

I didn't think it was too bad, but it was definitely an average movie. Some bits were hilarious though.

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.
