a cult classic!

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2017)

This is a cult classic, and deservedly so. "The Dude" had officially taken his place in American culture. This movie is a good example of how good writing, acting, and character study can really carry a movie. In the movie, "The Dude," as Jeffrey Lebowski refers to himself, is targeted by mobsters because he has the same name as a wealthy businessman whom they are REALLY trying to get. Violent and hilarious situation ensues as The Dude, who is a carefree beach bum who also spends a great deal of time at the bowling alley, enlists his gun-toting pal Walter and friend Donnie to defend him.
This film is filled with terrific situations, quirky characters, and unforgettable moments. You will never forget it or "The Dude" or John Goodman's character of Walter.
