The Big, uh, where was I?

Rating: 5/10 (12 March 1999)

Generally, it doesn't bode well for a movie if I fall asleep during it. Nevertheless, that's what happened during the Big Lebowski.
I can't say that there was anything particularly horrible about it except that, like Fargo, the pace was a bit slow for me. It was an INTERESTING movie, but never elevated to the point of greatness.
The day after my first attempt at watching it, I rewound the movie to where I left off and was much more disappointed with the ending than I probably would have been if I were half asleep.
I think this film is a sarcastic play on the Common Man as a hero and, in that respect, it was a little bit refreshing and somewhat similar to Kingpin. But if you want to see a great movie with the Common Man as a hero, just rent The Hero with Dustin Hoffman. (Five stars/ten)
