Rating: 5/5 --
Criminally overlooked and sinfully wonderful Coen brothers comedy. Jennifer Jason Leigh is just flawless here.
eFilmCritic.com
A jeering, dreamlike comedy with nothing much on its mind except how neat the Coen brothers are and how stupid or contemptible everybody else is, including everyone in the audience.

Rating: A --
[The Coens'] inventive style and the over-the-top performances from Robbins and Newman make this a feast for the eyes and a barrel of laughs.

Looking Closer
It is possible to create something emotionally true out of second-hand ingredients, in fact that's what Hollywood does, but it isn't the Coen Brothers' strong point.

Rating: 3/5 --
Bizarre, yet typical Coen comedy. Very dark and cartoonish.
Dispatch-Tribune Newspapers
Rating: 3/4 --
An impressive technical achievement--the period New York sets are to die for -- and its version of the invention of the hula-hoop is a comic highlight.

Movies are, after all, about fakery; so is the story of Norville's rise and fall and redemption.
New York Times
Description by OLDIES.com:
Mailroom clerk Norville Barnes is a rube, a schmo, a grade-A ding-dong -- just what Hudsucker Industries wants in a president. With him at the top, the stock will hit bottom... and the fat cats on the board can take over. But Norville (Tim Robbins) has his own spiffy little plan. And if a snoopy reporter (Jennifer Jason Leigh) doesn't put the kibosh on the Hudsucker flimflam and finagling big cheese Sidney J. Mussburger (Paul Newman) doesn't squash him, Norville's idea will put a smile on the hips of all America.
