Hudsucker Proxy vs. Down To Earth





Hudsucker Proxy, a movie about a fast-talking career gal (Amy) that tries to get one over a naive-country boy (Norville) that becomes a wealthy business man overnight. Down To Earth is a similar movie like Hudsucker Proxy. Down To Earth is a movie of a not-so-funny comic (Lance) that gets reincarnated into a wealthy mans body (Mr. Wellington) and falls in love with a woman who is fighting Mr. Wellington's corporation (Sontee). Lance is like Norville in the sense that they have never had so much money and so much power. They both got that overnight. Sontee is like Amy because they both try to take down the Mr. Wellington or Norville. Sontee doesn't like what Mr. Wellington and his corporation is doing to the lower class citizens. Amy wants to reveal the truth about Norville and the company he just took over of him being hired just to make the stocks of that company cheap. Lance falls in love with Sontee, Norville falls in love with Amy. They go out and stuff and at the end Lance makes it seem that he will stay with Sontee and Norville then stays with Amy.
