It's rare that I feel obliged to write a review after seeing a movie but for this I felt I had to. This film does have a decent plot although not one you'd consider to be sensational. The main reason behind this film's popularity is it's script and characters. The performances in this film are flawless. Each actor is sensational and it honestly baffles me how there was no Oscar nods for any performances, or Oscar nods for anything at all. The script is funny although it's not one that would have you on the floor crying with laughter. The comedy is enhanced with excellent delivery and such memorability. There was a few scenes that had me desperate for air from laughing. Particularly the ending scene and the scene in which the dude nails a block of wood to the floor and put a chair against it for protection. Only to find it's an out swinging door. I would live to quote this movie with friends with lines such as obviously you're not a golfer, the dude abides, I'm the walrus or no I don't think he was close to cracking, but because of my age (I'm 16) it's rare people would understand what I'm saying and would just end up looking at me like I'm insane.
Overall just a joy to watch. Each second is a pleasure and after each time I see it I find something new in the script that I'd missed before that makes it funnier. A true great that will forever be seen as one of the greatest cult movies of all time.
P. S, I also love the conversations between the trio of The dude, Donnie and Walter, The way Walter shuts down Donnie each time he speaks and the way he constantly talks about the Vietnam war and being Jewish are hilarious.
