Anyone else love this movie?

I know I do. I've always had a soft spot for this flick. Don't ask me why, as I don't normally like Sandra Berhardt's acting. But something about this movie, maybe it's the crazy capers, unrealistic slapstick, weird style, the singing, or Aiello and Willis but I've always considered this movie a "cult classic." I'd love to see a sequel.

Thank God others liked it as much as I did.

I know the movie bombed & critics hated it, but I really enjoyed the movie. It's funny as hell watching the thefts being timed by singing a song.

Some parts did seem lame, but if you enjoy comedies, I would recommend this one.

Trust me, I have seen worse movies than this.

I can't understand why this is such an underrated film, either. I've see far, far worse. And I'm amazed...AMAZED that the Mayflowers haven't show up in other movies. What a show-stopping pair!

It's a goofy, fun movie with lots of F-bombs. I love the songs and the one-liners and how he never gets his cappuccino.

He *finally* gets his cappuccino in the very last scene.

Love this movie.

I effing love this film. And only because it's so weird and slapstick. It reminds me a style of The Blues Brothers that is also unrealistic and cartoonish, but one of the greatest comedies ever made. I think Hudson Hawk got so much hate (and still gets it) because people were starting to get used to see Willis as a hard a serious action character and then he made something silly like Hudson Hawk. People just weren't used to his comedic persona.

"Bunny, ball ball'...

Classic movie... I know that Richard E Grant said he regretted making this movie, but he was just awesome in this.... his character and the way he played him was just so full of life and magical :)

I love it too! Stupid fun movie with lots of quotable lines. My wife and I watch it at least once a year. I think if they hadn't tried to include musical numbers it would have been better received.
