I had a roommate in college who perhaps killed the movie for me (hes one of those hipster movie quoter types). But I still enjoyed the movie a lot and find myself liking it better every watch. Very funny and creative comedy. |

One thing about this filme is how many people said how awesome it was well i finally sat down and watched it and i dunno i must be missing something? Ok it was definatly entertaining that's fer sure and yes i did laugh several times (Expecially during any scene John Turturro was in as competitor bowler Jesus) The storyline i thought was a little to weird i guess for my liking and not enough laugh out loud parts as i like in my comedies i watch. I will say though that John Goodman as The Dude's(Jeff Bridges in a stoner role) best freind Walter was a fantastic performance and it was good seeing him on the screen again. The rest...i dunno let's put it this way i have seen better! |

The rug really tied the room together! |

Jeff Bridges plays The Dude – a seriously stoned bowler who suddenly finds himself embroiled in a world of kidnapping, extortion and violence after a group of Germans break into his house, mistake him for a millionaire, and soil his carpet. Realizing that they have kicked the proverbial 'crap' out of the wrong guy, they leave but all the dude wants is his rug back.
John Goodman gives an unforgettable performance as The Dude's (gun-) crazy friend and 'Nam' veteran with a chip on his shoulder. Julianne Moore is fantastic as the artist/feminist millionaire and Steve Buscemi filled the part of poor old Donny. JohnTurturro gives an outstanding interpretation of "Jesus," the perverted bowler which is worth the price of the DVD on its own.

"The Big Lebowski" by Yojimbo |
|
A bowling obsessed waster becomes embroiled in a plot to kidnap a big shot's trophy wife when a Chinaman pisses on a rug that REALLY holds the room together. Probably the Coen brothers' best loved effort to date, The Big Lebowski is far more a straight up comedy than most that's a laugh out loud funny pastiche with the concept of a kahlua swilling, clueless deadbeat inhabiting the world of Film Noir. Some aspects of it have dated a little; Julianne Moore's pretentious feminist is a little irritating and the broad comedy of the fetishwear clad German nihilists has not stood the test of time so well, but this film is all about the partnership of an ever brilliant Jeff Bridges and John Goodman's terminally uptight, loud mouthed Vietnam vet and they are hilarious. It's far more about laughs t... |

Crazy Coens! |

The Coen brothers are back in this cinic and absolut crazy comedy.The Big Lebowski is a 1998 comedy film written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Jeff Bridges stars as Jeff Lebowski, an unemployed Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler, who is referred to (and also refers to himself) as "The Dude". After a case of mistaken identity, The Dude is introduced to a millionaire also named Jeffrey Lebowski. When the millionaire Lebowski's trophy wife is later kidnapped, he commissions The Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release. The plan goes awry when The Dude's friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) schemes to keep the full ransom. Steve Buscemi, Philip Seymour Hoffman, David Huddleston, Julianne Moore, Tara Reid, and John Turturro star in the film, which is narrated by a cowboy known ... |
