Goodman's Best

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2004)

John Goodman should have been nominated for his work as Walter Sobchak. Every time he delivers a line in this movie I crack up.

This is the funniest movie I have ever seen. I've never been more entertained by a movie in my life.
Jeff Bridges continue to take roles that are off-beat and out of the mainstream, making him one of the more appealing actors of the past 25 years. His interaction with Walter is perfect--it never rings false or misses a beat.

The movie moves under the perfect control of the Coen Bros. I am amazed by the dialogue in this movie, how it recalls earlier phrases spoken by different characters in the story. Amazing. Simply a work of comedic art from beginning to end.
This movie should have been subtitled: "How to Make a Comedy by Joel and Ethan Coen."
Brilliant. 10/10
