They Will Never Top This!!!

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2004)

Never has a Coen Brothers film been so good and so cool all at the same time. Jeff Bridges is the most underrated actor of his generation and the rest is history. The Coen Brothers have never found it hard to create a bizarre story that doesn't seem so weird when you watch it and turn it into something promising and promising is way off when talking about the big Lebowski. John Goodman is fantastic as Walter, the retired Vietnam veteran that has never got over the war and is angry at every possible thing and person apart from The Dude (Bridges) and Donnie played by Steve Buscemi. They are three friends who are no hopers but live for bowling. Nothing comes better not even women into their life than the Bowling championship coming up but in between the times they bowl they have to go through the problems of Peeing on the Dudes rug, a bag full of Walter's uncleaned Undies, a mistaken identity and just being the wrong place at the wrong time.
The Dude one day goes home to fine two men waiting for him and to put his head down the toilet. They tenement of The Dude pay them money without realising that the man they actually want is another man who shares the same last name as The Dude `Lebowski'. as punishment they pee on his rug and he is most disliked to that so visit's the Lebowski that they were meant to find to demand another rug and ends up getting involved in more trouble than he bargained for. The real Lebowski comes into trouble after the visit by The Dude when he young beautiful wife Bunny is kidnapped and enlists the help of The Dude to be the drop off man with the money. Before you know it Walter gets in on the action and everything goes wrong to make this the most comical black comedy since the last one. Great performances from Bridges, Goodman, Buscemi and a nice and perverted cameo by John Tuturoro makes this the best of all The Coen Brothers films.
