Summary: The Coen brothers just keep getting better
Review: Having seen Fargo, Raising Arizona and Barton Fink and thinking them brilliant I went to see The Big Lebowski the first day it was released in theatres and proceeded to laugh uncontrollably, seemingly for the duration. Recently I rented it and had the same reaction all over again only magnified. Why it became a box office bomb I'll never know. In fact I don't even care why others did not like The Big Lebowski I though it lived up the Coen brothers rapidly expanding reputation and even enlarged it a little more. Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski is easily the best role I've seen Jeff Bridges in and he is supported by an equally stellar cast. This is at least as good as Fargo in its own way. The best thing about the Coen brothers is that while they certainly have a continually evolving style they never repeat themselves - the mark of true artists.

Summary: A Classic in My Library of Films
Review: If you own Animal House, Vacation, Dumb & Dumber, Fletch or Austin Powers----You will definetly want The Big Lebowski. Its one that can be watched over and over and over and amuse you to no end. It needs to be seen at least 3 times to catch all the sacrastic humor that just kind of skips by on the first go around.

Summary: Give it a second chance
Review: This first time I saw this flick I walked away from the theater $7 poorer and slightly confused. It's alot like one of those SNL skits that's never funny until days later when you joke about it with your friends. I watched it for the second time with my steady last month and we howled through the whole movie. Jeff Bridges is hysterical and the odd assortment of characters makes this movie worth the asking price.

Summary: The film, while comedy to some, is very real to
Review: Anyone who lives in southern California is inevitably exposed to each and every one of the characters in The Big Lebowski, and they are all real. The Coens, as usual, demonstrate an uncany ability to capture the reality of those who lead ordinary as well as offbeat lives and make it comedic. Even in tragedy, they fnd a way to also portray some of the dignity in humdrum existence (like in the death of the Buscemi character and camp burial of ashes). While not a companion in the strict sense to Fargo, it nonetheless belongs in a special place with that and their other films.

Summary: If you love the Coen Brothers, you'll love this gem.
Review: What can I say? The Coen brothers are not deities, but they are closely related to the almighty. The latest installment of "The world according to Coen", will not disappoint. The casting is perfect. While a long time Coen brothers fan, I hesitated a long time before giving this film a chance. In fact, I waited until the DVD was released before viewing it. I bought the disc, sight unseen, partly due to a hunch that the Coen brothers wouldn't let me down. A large part of my hesitation was that, I've never been a huge fan of (no pun intended) John Goodman. But... the casting was perfect. Nobody else could have played his part quite so well. In a general sense, the acting writing and directing were first rate. The overall effect of the film is similar to having a wonderful, humorous buzz going for about two hours, complete with a sense of disassociation and abstract thought. How much more fun can you ask for? So far as the DVD is concerned -- the transfer quality is first rate. Both the video and sound portion are splendid. You can't go wrong by adding this magnificent title to your collection.
