 | This is one of my favorite comedies if not THE number1. Jeff Brigdes and John Goodman are insane together. Truthully the entire cast is unforgettable. The story is about a unemployed guy who f*cks up some money and has to get it back. I won't spoil it. But I'll tell you this get ready to hear the f word as many times as you did in casino and goodfellas. That's probably why i enjoy this movie so much because thats my vocab right there. Anyway this movie is funny from beginning to end. Also great soundtrack. Get this. |

| Of course "Caddyshack" is the greatest comedy ever made! "The Big Lebowski" might be number 2. I am a big Coen brothers fan though there are movies of theirs I don't like; "Barton Fink", "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". I think this is their best film. It is visually stunning at moments, brilliantly directed, and absolutly funny in a smart way. Jeff Bridges and John Goodman give some of the best performances of their career playing two of the most memorable characters I've seen on film. Their chemistry is very natural, like that of two brothers. The writing is spectacular! There's really nothing bad or wrong about this film. I own it, I've seen it many times, and it never gets old. Even if you're not a Coen brothers fan, see this movie. Unless you have a problem with the F word. I believe this movie broke the record for the amount of times it was said. |

| So I can be just like the Big Lebowski.
The Big Lebowski is a must-have for any fan of offbeat comedy movies. The Coen brothers did an excellent job assembling an all-star cast to portray a winding story of kidnapping, extortion, bowling, and carpet-peeing.
"The Dude abides." Buy the Big Lebowski today! |

| I've seen this movie at least 20 times and gets better each time I watch it. I know the movie line for line but that doesn't change my love for it, it actually makes me love the movie even more. I'm not gonna go into the plot or any of that crap...I'm just too lazy for that. I will say that the entire cast is brilliant. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I think my favorite character in the movie is Donny played by Steve Buscemi (my favorite actor of all time), he just seems to know the exact right moment to jump in and say random things like "what do you mean, dude?" and "huh?". The movie is a masterpiece, plain and simple. |

| After watching Fargo, I read about this movie and thought that I should see it because I just loved Fargo. But, this movie was very strange. Very strange and weird. The cast in this movie is simply amazing with Jeff Bridges, the brilliant John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Jullianne Moore and John Turturro. But, the movie just didn't do it for me. It certainly had some good jokes and great acting but it had WAY TOO MANY CURSE WORDS and was just so weird. I mean, it's weird when you see a topless lady on a trampoline going up and down on the screen. And that happened a couple of times. Weird. Also, if you decide to watch this, make sure that you aern't sensitive towards the F word because it's used A LOT. I mean, there rarely is a sentence that John Goodman or Jeff Bridges doesn't use it. When they didn't, I was like: "Dude! It's a miracle!"
So be prepared to hear a lot of naughty words. I mean hundreds and hundreds of them, every 10 seconds, you'll probably hear one. So, that kind of frustrated me. Also, the weirdness was like over the top. I mean it was so weird. When Jeff Bridges would be high and have those weird visions or when the topless lady would jump up and down. I mean there was some pointless and weird stuff. I guess when the dude thinks that he's flying is pretty funny.
Anyway, now to the plot. The plot was about a guy named Jeffrey "the dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) who is mistaken with another Lebowski guy who is really rich. The dude gets really peeved when some guys mistake him for the rich Lebowski and pee on his rug. So, the due is mad. The dude is into doing drugs, drinking white russians, and bowling with his pals, Donny (Steve Buscemi) and Walter (John Goddman). Donny is really funny and says really random stuff. Walter is a hot temepered Vietnam vet. When the rich Lebowski's wife is kidnapped, they ask the dude to deliver the ransom. But, Walter, Donny and the dude get into a lot of a mess with the kidnappers, the cops, a porn ring and some german wackos who threathen to remove the dude's "johnson". The plot is great and there are some good funny moments. Believe me, there are some good laughs. Walter's great as is the dude. But, Jesus (John Turturro) is really weird and pointless in the movie. John Goodman, Jeff Bridges and Steve Busemi are all excellent in the movie. As is Jullianne Moore. But a lot of F words and a lot of random weird stuff make this one dissapointing. Personally, I feel that the Coen Brothers must have been on drugs while making this because it's very weird.
"No, I'm the dude. Or his dudness o el duderino." That was hilarious as was Walter's hot temper and Donny's stupidity.
But, the weirdness of this movie was just too overwhelming, the conclusion was gruesome and disgusting and could have been done differently (no biting needed) and I don't know about everyone else, but I don't like hearing the F word said SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
As the 2nd Coen Brothers movie that I have seen, I strongly recommend the masterpiece that is Fargo, but not this one. Well, I'm still going to give Barton Fink and Raising Arizona a chance. |
