Plot:
The Coen brothers and their agreeable cast make more fun than sense with this scattered farce about a pothead bowler who is mistaken for a deadbeat philanthropist and drawn into a cluster of kidnapers...( read more

MCT:September 20, 2008A self-contained, quirky world to be enjoyed by few thanks to lacklustre characters pointlessly journeying through strange events, filmed through strange eyes. The Big Lebowski is an unfunny comedy that never gives its extended audience much of a pay off in the stakes of fulfilled entertainment, but instead hopes to find a niche fitting to its twisted sensibilities. Roger Deakins work behind the camera and Jeff Bridges turn in front of the lens are the only commanding forces in the picture, whereas all else becomes lost in a quest for nothing. The films main reliance is on the same bland, calmed qualities of its title pacifist, leaving little memories of a film that never entices in the ways that it should.

MCT:May 28, 2008''That's a great plan, Walter. That's fuckin' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss fuckin' watch.''
Dude Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.
Jeff Bridges: Jeffrey Lebowski - The Dude
John Goodman: Walter Sobchak
Lebowski like Fargo is another smash from the Coen's. Revolving round unique characters and a crazy plot that defies belief. Bowling and the Coen's fascination with money are at it's heart. TBL basks in it's originality and crazy roots.
Jeff Bridges plays The Dude like a pro completely different in a role that tests his acting capabilities. John Goodman totally different in looks and character from anything I've seen him do. He's got raw aggression and often makes things worse but hilarious nonetheless. Steve Buscemi & John Turturro have smaller roles but nonetheless performances memorable. I mean Jesus and his rants, not to mention a ball polishing scene that had me laughing and uttering WTF??!!
From toilet flushing to black humour to dreamy sequences and squabbles that are over nothing it will create a riot of laughter, everything in The Big Lebowski screams to my humour and sates it.
I can understand why many won't like it but who cares personal taste conquers for me, and I'm going to say Lebowski earns it's cult status and I'd watch again and still pick up new ideas from it's confines.
Lebowski is a masterpiece yet again from the Coens who maybe are becoming favourite Directors/writers to me... -

MCT:December 1, 2008Rarely are movies this awesoml;y quotable, unabashedly convoluted, and so trippy and violent and crazy as this. It's Raising Arizona with more pot and white russians, and of course Nihilism. Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an Ethos.
