Vastly Overrated

Rating: 9/10 (16 September 2007)

I missed The Big Lebowski when it was at theaters, and after reading all the hoopla and praise foisted in its direction, had to rent it and finally see it.
Big mistake.
As with Pulp Fiction, I just don't see what the hype is about. The humor is sparse as far as I'm concerned, with John Goodman's character being the only redeeming part of the entire movie.
Yeah, I paid attention. And I watched it twice. It didn't help.
Some people have raved over the joke that the main character's rug "Really tied the room together". If that is what passes for great humor, well count me out.
