A satisfying disappointment...

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 1998)

I didn't care much for "The Big Lebowski". I found that there was so much going on at the same time that the Coen brothers weren't sure what to do the material they've created. It wasn't an awful film -- it was enjoyable - - but that was because of the colorful characters and the excellent performances.
"The Big Lebowski" isn't even comparable to the Coen brothers' last film, the excellent "Fargo", this one's more like their past film "Raising Arizona". This one definitely won't sweep the Oscars, though the performances of Julianne Moore and John Goodman could easily be considered for Supporting nods.
