Are you kidding me?

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2000)

This is one hell of a film. I first saw it in the theatre as a preview (my teacher at the time often gave us free passes!!) before I had heard any bad press about it. I was so confused the first time, and wondering what was this about, that it made me want to see it again. That is when I know that I am going to like a movie, when i want to see it again. The main character, The Dude (Or El dudarino if you are not into the whole brevity thing) is quite simply the laziest person in the world. The Dude, whose life revolves around drinking White Russians (Which I now drink mostly because of the movie, and mostly cause I like um!) and smoking grass while driving and listening to some Creedence, is "taking it easy for all us sinners". The plot revolves around him, and how his soiled rug gets him into a fandangle that no one could expect. The movie does so much with so little, kind of in a Seinfeld "show about nothing" type of deal. But what makes this movie a 10 is the superb acting!! What a cast, Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Jullianne Moore, and of course the gorgeous Tara Reid. This movie has so many intense conversations, that you could practically watch it with just the sound on, and still laugh your ass off. Please, ignore what anyone says, and watch this film, and then watch it again, cause it gets funnier every time!
