The Coen Brothers Best!

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2007)

This movie is the Coen Brothers best film!
It is their funniest, most original and most engaging film of their illustrious careers. The movie is about The Dude (Jeff Bridges) a dead-beat hippie-bowler who becomes entangled in the affairs of well-to-do Hollywood figures Mr. Lebowski (David Huddleston) and Jackie Treehorn (Ben Gazzara).
The strength of the movie is the uproarious relationship and dialog between The Dude, Walter (John Goodman) and Donny (Steve Buschemi), all partners on a bowling team. Their lines might be some of the most memorable and quotable in recent comedic history.
Along with the three main characters, the Coen brothers have a bizarre mixture of characters (nihilist Germans, porn star thugs, uptight artists, bowlers, Spanish bowlers, peace-loving cab drivers, and interpretive dancing landlords.) The ingredients appears to be outrageous, but the Coen brothers make it work!
This is a comedy that makes you laugh hours/days/weeks after watching it. It has a tremendous cast, did I mention Julianne Moore and Philip Seymour Hofman are also in it. It's one of those movie where outrageous characters, situations and ideas are thrown together and it makes one of the most hilarious movies ever made, it is certainly the Coen brothers best! Highly recommended!
8 out of 10!
