A Perfect Comedy?

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2010)

The Big Lebowski is one of my favourite films and it is the sort of film you can watch over and over again and each time it gets better and even funnier, nearly every element of this film is made for a joke in some way and it is these deep-rooted jokes that make the film. It is so well written that a majority of the jokes aren't even noticed first time you watch, but then watching again you pick up on them and next time there's more.
I've seen the film about six times and I have to say I have laughed more each time I have watched it as I discover more and more jokes.
It is honestly hard to think of a bad thing about this film, Jeff Bridges heads a fantastic cast with some simply brilliant acting; and all potential narrative loopholes are cleared up by the end.
The Co-en Brothers are fantastic filmmakers and I am shocked that this film did not win more awards or get more acclaim at the time.
9/10
