"Obviously you're not a golfer"

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2002)

This is the Coen Brothers at their very best and it is hard to believe they will ever be able to top this one, which I see as at least at a par with their critically acclaimed "Fargo". This is easily the funniest and most quotable movie I've ever seen and it is still wonderfully entertaining after many, many viewings. The cast is perfect - Jeff Bridges and John Goodman arguably gave the performances of their careers to date in this movie. The only reason I could see why people could have problems with this fine work is the language, which does not exactly adhere to the commonly accepted concept of good manners. If you don't mind that, this movie is a definite must see. Great idea for a fun evening: go bowling first and then watch the Big Lebowski with a couple of 'Caucasians'. 10 out of 10, and yes, it really tied the room together, did it not?
