My first thought 30 minutes into watching The Big Lebowski the first time I asked myself if the movie was actually about anything. I realized it is about something; about the life of Jeff Lebowski, The Dude and how the most improbable things can happen to the most ordinary (or in his case unordinary) people. **** Happens' always comes to my mind whenever I see the movie again.


Jeff Bridges is brilliant in his role but the real bummer, for me, was John Goodman Walter. Volatile, grim, smart ass, choleric "calmer than you are" Walter.


Best line ever: "See what happens when you **** a stranger in the ass, Larry"

Plot : The dude Jeff Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) spends his time bowling and doing drugs - untill one day some guys ruin his rug : when they mistake him for the rich man with the same last name. The dude is thrown into a mystery of the other...

Plot : The dude Jeff Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) spends his time bowling and doing drugs - untill one day some guys ruin his rug : when they mistake him for the rich man with the same last name. The dude is thrown into a mystery of the other Lebowski's kidnapped wife - where nothing is as it seems. ------

Story : The events in the story bounce back and forth from the kindapping mystery and the bowling tournament. With his friends and bowling team Walter (John Goodman) and Donnie (Steve Buscemi) as they "help" him out with the mystery. It's a perfectly executed mystery as it dosen't rely on shock value rather than it's hillarious approach to serious matters. ------ Humor : The first half you can't stop laughing the entire time - with the second half still subtly funny , but more focused on the story and characters. Tons of highly original style and a hillariously horrible narrator - make this one of the funniest you'll ever see. ------

Visuals : Beautifull throughout the entire film , espicially with it's crazy surreal dream scene and the camera in the bowling ball view : not to forget it's lovely bowling scenes - all of this accompinied by a great unforgetable soundtrack. ------

Sypnosis : Easily the best Coen brothers film , sucseeds all their other works - in visuals , comedy , and story telling : and earns it's spot as one of the best.

Whatever you think the Big Lebowski is, it probably isn't, unless you think that it's hilarious, and on top of it all, cool. Though there are (what I call) plot splinters (like loose threads) that keep the movie from being perfect, it's the...

Whatever you think the Big Lebowski is, it probably isn't, unless you think that it's hilarious, and on top of it all, cool. Though there are (what I call) plot splinters (like loose threads) that keep the movie from being perfect, it's the characters and thrilling storyline that will keep you watching.

If you've only seen it once, see it again.

This film is full of genius. I wasn't a believer at first but now I have seen the light.
