An Iconoclastic Film that gets better with each viewing

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2003)

I have to say this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The first time I saw it I chuckled a little bit. The second time I guffawed and chortled. The third time really began to let loose with the laughing. Every subsequent viewing has had me laughing harder and harder. This movie has the most replay ability I've ever seen in my entire life.

The dialog is awesome, John Goodman's character reminds me very much of one of my friends. Jeffery Lebowski is one of the greatest characters the screen will ever see. I really don't enjoy Jeff Bridges most of the time; but it this movie he's so amazing. He's like another person! Buscemi is spot on as always, and the plot is amazing.
The problems with this movie lie not in the work itself; but in its audience. A lot of people will not like this movie simply because the first view only yields chuckles and chortles here and there and there are dream sequences. The sound track is phenomenal though featuring loads of vintage music.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who has patience, and anyone that likes character films.
However if you're all about plot and action and don't understand character movies, don't see this one.
