All rights reserved.The Big Lebowski (DVD)
| Description The Coen brothers have done it again. Mixing in Leninist philosophy, mistaken identity, crazy characters, a kidnapping plot, and a deep love of bowling, they have unleashed upon an unsuspecting world the many glories of THE BIG LEBOWSKI. Jeff Bridges plays Jeff Lebowski, known as the Dude, a laid-back, easygoing burnout who happens to have the same name as a millionaire whose wife owes a lot of dangerous people a whole bunch of money--resulting in the Dude having his rug soiled, sending him spiraling into the Los Angeles underworld. The film is beautiful to look at, especially the scenes in the bowling alley, which feature a vast array of bizarre characters including Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Sam Elliott, and the movie-stealing, riotously funny John Goodman as the Dude's crazy best buddy. As usual in Coen brothers films (BARTON FINK, RAISING ARIZONA), the dialogue is hysterically warped; the plot is confusing, complicated, and kinetic; the soundtrack is virtually another character; and the acting is weirdly stellar. THE BIG LEBOWSKI is yet another thoroughly entertaining foray into the strange and fascinating world ruled by Joel and Ethan Coen.

Top Reviews  The Big Lebowski 5 of 6 people found this review helpful. I can only confirm what the others have already posted: this is an excellent movie, deeply imbued with friendship, love and humanity, featuring an armada of the most eccentric characters you will ever see on screen, and all this with such a delicate and non-obtrusive delivery that will be hard to match. I am not a big movie fan but this one just got me addicted and I keep on watching it every now and then, always discovering something new in it. But a word of warning. Just as it is the case with a really good CD, you will probably not get the most out of it when you are watching it first. When I saw it first I thought, well, it was an OK movie, but nothing else. Two years later, when me and a few friends had absolutely nothing to do, we decided to watch it again (which is very unusual of me, to watch a movie for a second time), and, well, I got hooked on it, and every time I see it I just want to watch it again to discover and rediscover its hidden merits. You know when you like a CD so much it hardly leaves they CD tray - well, it's sort of the same thing with this movie. After a while you will certainly get bored with it, but until then (and it won't happen for a while), this is top notch entertainment Review ID: 10000000001419688 Was this review helpful?

Every time you watch it you notice different things in it. A joy!! Review ID: 10000000004250810 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
