Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2000)

Hilariously funny film brought to us by the Coen brothers. Centering around "the Dude" (Bridges), it consists of a series of side-busting sequences involving his bowling friends (Goodman and Buscemi), narcisists, another Lebowski, and the other Lebowski's evil daughter. Succeeds in comedy where "Fargo" largely fails. Great timely acting and a good feel for the random.
