Rating: Summary: The Coen Brothers means a quality film guaranteed Review: I bought this film on a recommendation, and I have to say it's one of the best films I have ever seen. It's offbeat, yes, and not to everyone's liking, but if like me you have a strange sense of humour you'll love this. What I really like is that it never takes itself seriously - it's always just pulling your leg. After seeing Jeff Bridges in Arlington Road I found it amazing that he was able to pull off the role of The Dude so well - he's such a great character. John Goodman is great aswell as psychotic Walter, the angry 'Nam veteran, which is a total contrast to the Dude's character, and this is what I think makes it work so well. Only gripes are that there is a bit too much swearing and Steve Buscemi's character is wasted. BUY THIS FILM!
Rating: Summary: What in God's holy name are you blathering about?? Review: I agree with the previous review. Without the right chemistry, this movie would be unwatchable. Happily, the Coens got it right again - a movie that gets better with repeated viewings. Watch for the completely befuddled and sputtering Jeff Bridges in the back of the limo: "I have certain information . . . uh, uh . . . certain things have come to light and . . . uh . . . this might not be as simple as . . . uh . . . well, you know." The guy derserved an Oscar just for that scene!
Rating: Summary: "They're throwing rocks tonight dude." Review: This a Coen masterpiece. This is by far one of the funniest movies made in a long time. For a film with not much of a plot, that is over two hours long, it keeps your attention throughout. Each time I watch it, it gets more and more amusing. The catchy quotes embedded throughout the film are the big winners in this one from the brothers. Quotes like, "It really tied the room together, did it not" is only one of the many that can be brought into our lives as little tidbits of humor during conversation. What is a good quote without the right person delivering it? John Goodman will suprise you with his discruntled humor as Walter. You will see Jeff Bridges (The Dude) in a whole new light. No one ever thought they would see one of the Bridges brothers as a white russian drinking, pot smoking, bowling hippie. The entire cast of characters brings this movie together. The Big Lebowski could have been a complete disaster without the right cast and chemistry, but the combination hit the nail right on the head with this one.
Rating: Summary: Top Ten Movies of all time Review: This movie is amazing. If you have not seen it yet watch it imediatly. In tradition of the Blues Brothers Coen keeps the "laid back attitude while your world is in chaos" and rides it to a hit. While this movie is not a box office hit it has become a cult favorite between me and my friends. Between the great cinematography to the soundtrack this movie is a sure buy.
Rating: Summary: simply another wonderful coen coup Review: hey these guys are good.......the coen brothers have scored again a very funny off beat and sometimes poliically insightful........ i loved the satire,the humor and in a sense the pathos .... chaplinesque
Rating: Summary: The best film from the best directors Review: This is the best film ever made! If you can handle the strong language you will find this a brilliant and witty film.
Rating: Summary: Funniest movie of all time Review: I love this movie, it made me laugh more than any movie I have ever seen. People say it had too many F-words..blah, blah, blah..wah, wah, wah! So what who cares? Not me, I here worse language at school! And hearing swear words never bothers me, it made the movie funnier anyway! So to all those "Polished, non-swearing people" F-you! This movie rules!
Rating: Summary: real groovy Review: dude get a white russian and rela
Rating: Summary: Funnier than almost anything you will ever see again Review: Every slacker's favorite comedy. It does go absoloutley nowhere, but this movie is so good natured and so FUNNY, you won't care. Don't try to pick it apart or don't try and analyze it. Just sit back and enjoy. The movie isn't As good as Fargo or as smart as Barton Fink, but you will not be dissapointed.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Review: This movie might be the funniest movie I've seen in a long time and it doesn't deserve any of the 1-star reviews. Sure, there's a little bad language, but it could be worse. The only reason that someone would hate the movie is because the subtle, witty jokes went over their heads. This movie is a definite classic.
