Summary: A prime piece of entertainment
Review: Salute to the Coens for refusing to make just another good movie. This one is perfect. A hilarious dialogue driven comedy with every superb spice blends in it. My thanks to all the people who work "hard" or maybe not too hard :) in bringing this movie for us to watch and be entertained. A full enjoyment.

Summary: One of the funniest movies of the year
Review: If you enjoy the Coen brothers' movies, you will love The Big Lebowski. This fun movie includes over the top acting by John Goodman, great dialogue, interesting scenes and an elliptical plot line. Well worth seeing several times.

Summary: The Big Enjoyski
Review: Even though the Coen brothers shined in "Fargo", they out did themselves with "The Big Lebowski". John Goodman's and Jeff Bridges acting made the movie outstanding. The Coen brothers should of developed the bowling child molester a bit more with a bowling contest between John Goodman,Steve Buscemi, and Jeff Bridges. It was nice to see a sub story line between Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges. I honestly would see this movie again.

Summary: A FEW curse words?
Review: Technically, this movie has the most curse words of any film ever put on celluloid...averaging over 2 per minute... but that's besides the point! Its freaking hilarious. The "ashes" scene is priceless. Highly recommended.

Summary: A Bizarre Joyride!
Review: I loved every line, every actor, every moment in this film! John Goodman's Walter character had me rolling on the floor! I am becoming a big fan of the Coen Brother's work after seeing "Raising Arizona", "Fargo" and now this one! I recommend this one highly! But beware if you are one of those weaklings who turn green whenever your virgin ears hear a curse word or two.

Summary: My favorite movie of the decade
Review: This movie is both hilarious and profound! The complex relationship between the laidback Dude and the excitabe Walter is wonderfully cast and acted. John Tuturro as Jesus is brilliant, Juliane Moore is cooly sexy; the plot is goofy. The soundtrack is delightful. I have never watched a video over and over the way I have this one. It's funny on so many levels, and in spite of large doses of "black" humor and abundant "cussing", it's a very positive film. The Dude abides.

Summary: I'm really glad to know that the Dude is around
Review: Stories about kidnappings must be an obsession of Joel and Ethan Coen. In "The Big Lebowski", the victim is Bunny Lebowski and Jeff 'The Dude' Lebowski (no relation) is given the task to deliver the ransom to the kidnappers. This ransom is paid by Bunny's husband Jeff Lebowski (again, no relation) and of course it takes a while before it reaches its destination.This absurd plot just functions as a device to stage a series of funny scenes. "The Big Lebowski" is very often extremely silly but nearly always on target. The casting of the movie is absolutely marvelous. Jeff Bridges is sensationel as 'The Dude', as is John Goodman as Walter, the guy who thinks he's always right, though he's always wrong. The supporting actors all have their moments, too. Only Steve Buscemi isn't given the opportunity to show his skills. My main criticism is that the film is a little to long. The last half hour doesn't have the relentless pace and gag density that the rest of the picture has. One could also complain that the film has no substance whatsoever. But then again there are comedies that may transport substancial material and forget being funny, which a comedy must be before it can be anything else. "The Big Lebowski" obviously knows that.

Summary: this is the greatest movie ever made
Review: I think that says it all. One thing - it's really the kind of movie that you have to see more than once to become a classic.

Summary: No other movie made me laugh so hard.
Review: This movie could be the funniest movie ever made. But, then again, the Monty Python movies are also very funny. But, this movie is not only hilarious, but unlike other comedies, this movie has a good story, too. John Goodman is really great in this movie. And all the other characters are so funny and interesting at the same time. I'm usually not the biggest fan of using cuss words to make a scene funny, but Goodman's use of them are just hilarious. A smart and just downright beautiful comedy.

Summary: The Unknown Cliff Walker
Review: To watch this movie only once is a disservice to ones own psych. Having grown through the 60's and myself being one opposed to the war in Vietnam; I feel that the whole movie ties in real well with the casting of the characters and with the writing of the story. Not only did I watch this movie once but, 8 times in 4 days. It was not until the 4th time did I realize that there was a character involved in the movie that was not given credit. At the end of the movie when Walter and The Dude were scattering Donny's ashes unto the Pacific ocean, from upon a cliff, and the ashes blew back into The Dudes face; Walter and The Dude were embraced, and Walter says "Let's go bowling"...whom is ontop of the cliff in the background, dressed in black, walking by? One of the most excellent movies created without a lot of blood and guts and thrills. Very well conceived and portrayed. My hats off to the Coen bros. Let's all hoist a good sasparilla, too, to Sam Elliot.
