This was true of basically every character in the movie except for Chigurh, but the most egregious examples were Llewelyn's wife and the characters played by Stephen Root and Woody Harrelson.
Hucksucker Proxy has a great beginning and a great ending but the middle is such a boring cheese-fest that I can barely stand to watch it. I understand that they were trying to step out of their normal frame of reference and pay homage to a certain type of movie but it just doesn't do it for me.

Wuh?
I thought a lot of the characters were great. Especially Brolin's and Lee Jones'.
