Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

michaeljackson-68011 The Coen's most endearing film perhaps, the Big Lebowski was unappreciated upon release but since has garnered a massive following. Jeff Bridges plays the ultimate slacker- Dude whose sole purpose in life is to laze around in his room smoking pot or go bowling with his strange friends- a militant gun lover played by John Goodman and a meek fellow portrayed by Steve Buscemi. One day he is mistaken for another man (a very wealthy man) with the same name by a batch of inept crooks who take his rug forcefully. What follows is a bizarre, offbeat tale of mistaken identity and revenge. This is a typical offbeat Coen's film ably supported by Julianne Moore who, for once, chooses to tackle a funny role (and has a hilariously surreal dance sequence with Bridges).

cantona-32610 This is one of the best movies ever made. After watching it for the first time I liked it but when I watched it again I just simply loved it. It's just one funny ride from beginning to the end. You can watch it as many times as you like and still find it funny. Jeff Bridges at his best with perfect John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore and others. Coen brothers just gave us something rather special and you just can't go wrong with this movie. It's hard for me to understand why some people giving it only one star as it's clearly 9-10 stars movie,but as Dude said: Yeah well,you know that's just like your opinion man.

Svenstadt This movie has a big personality, and I could have given it a 10, but I felt that a 9 was more appropriate. This is basically a post-modern tale that anyone growing up in the 90's will understand. Everyone should find this entertaining, especially on re-runs on all the networks. It requires attention span as the story is rather complicated. It also has a great number of characters to introduce. But the filmmakers do it so well that it doesn't lose any points. I didn't give it a 10 because it is so outlandish and over-the-top that even the most gullible will want to walk away from it at times. There is a character, played by John Turturro, who is a registered sex offender, who plays bowling alongside the three main characters in league bowling, and they felt the need to do a cut-scene to tell his story, even though he is only in one scene. Also, there is the guy who is a stage actor, who wants the Dude to go to his performance, and the dude nearly forgets - this character has nothing at all to do with this movie, so the scenes changed about every 2 minutes!!! Also, John Goodman's character getting away with threatening to shoot someone in public, and the cops show up and somehow miss him!! Way too over-the-top. It felt at times like a pornographic display of garishness.

onpointllc This movie came out when I was 5 and yet I was still able to find it years later and relate to the dude! Hilariously loose and laid back performance by the lead. Excellent supporting cast and an all around cult classic for sure!
