Superlatives ensue: I find the Big Lebowski to be exceedingly entertaining. The three main actors (Bridges, Buscemi and Goodman) did an extremely convincing job. In fact, it's hard for me to watch another movie with Jeff Bridges in it and not expect him to say, "new shit has come to light, man!"
The convoluted plot comes ties together like a perfect episode of Seinfeld, and the scenes are shot beautifully, esp. the bowling and dream montages. The script is witty and hilarious without being juvenile and soooo many classic lines can be gleaned from it. This movie is a classic--you will laugh harder everytime you see it. The Sarsparilla man is right--it does make one feel safe knowing that "The Dude" is out there.
