Big Lebowski

Pros: Incredible characters and lush direction
Cons: Story is a bit convoluted, which may turn off some viewers.

When I went to see "The Big Lebowski" for the first time, I really hadn't seen much from the Coen brothers. I hadn't seen "Fargo," and I was mildly amused/bemused by "The Hudsucker Proxy." I went in with nothing and came...

Pros: Hilarious subtle comedy with a touch of realism between characters.
Cons: The movie is filled with taboo comedy, be ready to cover your children's eyes.

The Big Lebowski is a hilarious movie that brings forth several social issues in a way that is completely unique. Jeff Bridges is amazing as 'the Dude', the epitome of the lazy man. His friend Walter, played beautifully by John Goodman, is a Vietnam...

Pros: Great cast, Goodman at his best
Cons: Not enough lines for Donny!

Jeff Bridges is brilliant as "the Dude" in this comedy about a mistaken identity. John Goodman plays is over the top friend Walter. Together with Steve Buscemi as Donny they go on a whirl wind trip in order to regain their slacker lives of...

Pros: A good laugh at a cheap price!
Cons: No relevance to anything whatsoever.

As movie fans, such as myself, stroll through the isles at the local entertainment store, we keep an ...

Pros: Without a doubt, the characters are the strong point, especially The Dude and Walter.
Cons: One or two draggy parts, but forgivable.

Jeff Bridges masterfully portrays Jeffrey Lebowski, more commonly referred to as The Dude, Your Dudeness, El Duderino. He's an aging longhaired, sloppy hippie type (even makes trips to the grocery store in his bathrobe) with no means of gainful ...

Pros: features my three favorite things; Bowling, drinking, and smoking
Cons: make me realize how much of a loser I am

I had seen this movie a couple times while being drunk, and i had enjoyed it thoroughly, but it takes a completely sober mind to truly appreciate it. I enjoyed the fact that the movie was very complex, but still simple enough for anyone to understand....

Pros: John Goodman as Walter.
Cons: Nothing at all.

Wow. This is my favorite movie by the Coen Brothers. It is the story of a man. Jeffrey Lebowski. He really had no use for that name, so he refers to himself as "the Dude". Now, the Dude has a relatively happy life. He bowls with his friends Walter...

Pros: memorable characters, great soundtrack
Cons: quite confusing the first time watching it

When I first saw the trailer for The Big Lebowski, I was left shaking my head, wondering what on earth the movie was supposed to be about. Yet, for some reason, I found that I wanted to see it. So, I gathered up a few close friends went down to the local...

Pros: Brilliant acting coupled with hilarious and clever diaglogue will get you through the movie and beyond!
Cons: There is not a single thing wrong with this film. Period.

If you are easily offended, stop reading now. If you want the same old info about the movie, scroll down. But if you want a review that's different, keep reading. This is my ode to one of the funniest movies ever made. If you don't like it, that is...

Pros: Extremely funny! Not as dark as fargo, but not as boring either!
Cons: None except for a little boring towords the end.

The funniest movie with a kidnap type plot ever! If you liked Fargo you will love this movie, as you would love any other movie by the Coen brothers. They just have a way to make the most boring thing in to a great movie. Actually the Coen bros. have...

Pros: Oddball fun. Production number is nifty-cool.
Cons: Jesus. Swearing. Breasts, Rather too baroque for it's own good sometimes.

Somewhere out west, in a place they call the City of Angels, abides The Dude. The Dude's parents gave him the name "Jeffery Lebowski", same as the big millionaire on the other side of town, they aren't related, but everyone who knows him calls him ...

Pros: Fantastic Performances, Rapid-Fire Dialogue
Cons: People Always Whining That They Didn't "Get It"

There is a huge number of people who claim that they just don’t “get” this movie, and that will always puzzle me, because not only do I understand this movie, but I think it is one of the most hilarious movies ever. I guess the comedy is of a quirky...

Pros: Too many to list...
Cons: It ends...

What? The Big Lebowski, the oddball comedy of the century. Who? Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Tara Reid, Sam Elliot and Flea under the expert direction of Joel Coen ...

Pros: Great acting, fun movie, good characters
Cons: I wish the film was longer

I thought this was a very good movie, the script was good and acting was superb. I must have watched this movie 20 times this month to see things I missed.


Story: The story in this movie was good and not fake, many movies have non...

Pros: Dream sequences; dialogue; the Coen brothers, man!
Cons: Excessive profanity (if that sort of thing bothers you...)

This classic shaggy dog story disguised as a character study/private eye tale is just another example of why Joel and Ethan Coen (Fargo, Barton Fink, Raising Arizona) are some of the best filmmakers of recent years.

Our story begins with a...
