I love Hudsucker Proxy, but I dont' get the Superman comment.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

And I guess the Superman thing has to do with Jennifer Jason Leigh playing the His Gal Friday that Lois was based on?

loved the movie, and I see the Lois parallel, but that's it

I'd say it's a Lois Lane movie without Superman

It's also a great Magnum P.I. movie without any characters or plotlines from the show.

It's not exactly easy to explain, but I feel like it has a lot of Superman elements to it.

• The nondescript big city has the classic Metropolis architecture and layout.

• Tim Robbins' Norville Barnes is a very Clark Kent-esque, cornfed Midwestern boy -- a fish out of water in the big city.

• Jennifer Jason Leigh's Amy Archer is a Lois Lane-esque hard-nosed newsreporter who puts the story above her own personal pursuit of human connection in pursuit of yet another Pulitzer Prize.

• Paul Newman's Sidney J. Mussburger is the evil businessman that acts as the Lex Luthor to Norville's Superman.

In that case, you'd better get a papertowel and some oxyclean fast. Those stains are going to be hard to get out.
