Hudson Hawk
Catch the Excitement, Catch the Adventure, Catch the Hawk.
Eddie "The Hawk" Hawkins, the world's most famous cat burglar, who, after 10 years in prison, is ready to go straight. But it's not going to be easy for The Hawk. The mob and the CIA have conspired to blackmail Eddie and his partner into stealing three da Vinci masterpieces from the most heavily-guarded museums in the world.
Sounds simple, right? WRONG!
While trying to steal the goods, hawk falls in love with a beautiful but schizophrenic nun and is relentlessly pursued by the greedy and powerful Minerva and Darwin Mayflower, who want the artworks as part of their twisted plot to ruin the world's economy. It's wall-to-wall action as the wise-cracking Hawk saves the world, wins the girl, and gets the last laugh.

This is a throw back to old comedy. Everytime I watch this movie I have to laugh. If you like Bruce Willis in The Whole Nine Yards you will enjoy this watch.
The comedy borders on slap stick, the one liners are just to funny, and the singing throughout just makes you wonder what your actually watching.
This is not a sit down and roll over laughing movie, but it is damn funny. You either really love it or you'll hate it. "WORLD DOMINATION"So So So Good! - Tinseltown_Tess
Why this one gets such a bad rap I don't understand. It's hilarious. A favorite in my house, it gets rented two or three times a year. It's very much a comedy, not an action film, which I think is what disappoints so many. Willis is at his comedic prime, and Sandra Bernhard's villainess is one of the more perfect comedy roles of the genre. I also really liked David Caruso's evil mime henchman. It gets a little stupid in places, I will admit, but it's worth it just to watch Bruce Willis time a burglary to the beat of "Swinging On A Star"Notoriously panned but totally awesome - Diceman
I honestly do not know why this movie got panned. Granted it has a very offbeat sense of humor with its bizarre mixture of surreal and slapstick humor but its characters are memorable and a treat to watch. The action is good and the adventure elements revolving around Da Vinci and alchemy make it a truly entertaining film. Why the critics hated it I will never know, but watch it and tell me you arent humming "Swinging on a Star" afterward.
