Summary: Am i wrong?
Review: Just one of the best movies ever made!
It's one of those movies that you will watch it the first time and think it is funny. But it is not until the second or third veiwing that you begin to really feel it.
You will be saying the lines to everyone you know, its like a drug.
How Jeff Bridges and John Goodmen did not both win an oscar I will never know. I can watch the scenes between them all night long.
Just remember, the movie is about the DUDE.
Try a fun drinking game of taking a sip everytime the 'f-word' is used or when they say 'dude'; take five when Walter says "f&*% it dude, lets go bowling".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Big Lebowski
Review: This is really an interesting movie. Probably one of the most interesting and funny movies that I've ever seen. Joel and Ethan Coel certainly have very interesting minds (as seen in this movie and other movies of theirs like Fargo). The story of Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski and how his identity gets all mixed up with a different Jeffrey Lebowski is really interesting. Especially when a kidnapping situation comes up and The Dude becomes the center of things. And the use of torn off body parts (the nail-polished toe, John Goodman's character biting off an ear, and The Dude worrying about someone cutting off his "johnson") keeps the story interesting. The character of Maude Lebowski (not related to The Dude since they end up conceiving a kid) is quite interesting. Maude's artistic way of expressing herself by flying through the room naked on a harness and throwing paint down onto a canvas while in the air is really awesome. Julianne Moore did a great job handling an English accent and that high-pitched laugh that she shares with her friend and the friend on the phone is almost humorous. John Goodman's Walter is probably the most interesting character of all. And that's mostly due to Goodman's superb acting. When you see him, you think of Dan from "Roseanne" but when he talks in this movie, yes he uses lots of profanity but the way he talks is so precise and intelligent. And you gotta love the scene when he and The Dude go to dump their friend's ashes in the ocean and as he pours the ashes into the direction of the water, the wind picks up and sends the ashes flowing behind him and land on The Dude. So in short, this movie is an intelligent, creative, funny must-see movie for anyone who likes to laugh.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the Coen Bros. best!
Review: This was one of the weirdest movies that I have ever seen! It was also one of the best Coen brothers movies that I have ever seen. There is a very simplistic storyline revolving around this guy named "the Dude". His real name is Jeff Lebowski, and one day he comes home to find these thugs at his house asking him for money that he obviously dosent have. You see, there is another Jeff Lebowsky that lives in the neighborhood. He is a wheelchair bound millionaire who lives in a mansion. The thugs finally realize this, get mad, and ruin the Dudes oriental rug that is in his living room. It was the rug that "tied the whole room together" as the Dude says. So, the next day, the Dude sets off to the millionaires house to complain and get a new rug. He eventually gets caught up in a lot of stuff that happens later on, like whenever the millionaire's young wife gets "kidnapped", and they ask the Dude to drop off the ransom.

Lots of other crazy stuff happens from there on out, and I'm not giving away anymore, so if you haven't seen it, SEE IT! Its absolutly goofy and fun to watch!

The only problem that I had with the film was the unnecessary, pervasive language. Definitly not for children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite!!!
Review: This is all-time favorite movie of all time. It's a non-stop laugh riot. John Goodman is so funny in this movie you would not believe it till you see it. I watch this movie at least once a week because it's so funny. It's 1/2 Kingpin, 1/2 Fargo. You don't even have to go out and rent this movie, you can buy it right now, I can guarantee you'll love it. Yes, it is true it did not do to well in the theaters, but that's because the commercials did not do the movie justice. This movie is a must have, buy it now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Coen Bros. do it again
Review: The Coen brothers have really created something special here with The Big Lebowski. This movie is so good on so many levels that it even rivals Raising Arizona in creativity and overall entertainment value. John Goodman is particularly good as Walter, while cameos by Flea and John Toturro provide instant laughs. This is a must see!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great surprise
Review: After I first saw this movie in the theater, I didn't know what to think about it. All I knew was that I wanted to see it again.

After many more viewings, I'm still not sure what to think about it. But I still want to watch it again.

The more I watch it, the more I like the acting. And the story line. And the vivid imagery. And even the bowling (this must be THE ultimate bowling movie).

The DVD version is a big advantage; much of the appeal of the movie is visual, and the wide-screen format is necessary to preserve it. There is also a nice, long interview with the Cohen brothers that gives some interesting background on the film (including explaining some of how they got the great bowling shots).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Favorite
Review: The Big Lebowski is a hilarious movie that has all the best actors like John Goodman. Easily my personal favorite.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I LOVED it!...
Review: However, many people will not. Personally, this is one of my 10 favorite movies ever, but I've talked to a large number of people that just "didn't get it." This is understandable...a lot of the humor is strange, and may not rub everybody the right way. But I loved it...if you loved Fargo, you will probably like this. If you like Kevin Smith, same. Otherwise, rent it first...if you like it, you will want to own it. I watch it at least once a month.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: S.T.F.U Donny
Review: this is what you would call your classic cult film.the first,oh say 2 or 3 times i saw it i thought it was 'aight'. every time after that it just got better.you honestly have to see it about 4 times before you realize what a gem it is and quite possibly won't ever get tired of seeing it after that.John Goodman is way,way funnier than i have ever seen him before and Jeff Bridges is..well,has Jeff Bridges ever starred in an entertaining movie besides this one?? This is a very special movie, but not to insult anyone,if you aren't an intelligent,quick-witted person you might not ever see it's charm

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is my favorite flick ever.
Review: I could go on and on about how much I love this movie, however should I? I didn't expect much the first time I saw it, and thought it was just ok, but after a while the characters grow on you like a cancerous mole over your skin. The Dude is simply the greatest hero of all time, not that he's even a true hero. John Goodman out does himself in every scene and his character isn't all that farfetched if you think about it. Then, well, then there's the Jesus. He's only in two scenes, but they have the best monologues ever. I nearly peed my pants the first time. Words cannot do justice to this flick. There really isn't a plot, it's just a bunch of wacky characters thrown together for everyone's enjoyment.
