The Big Lebowski abides

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2012)

Sometimes there's a film... I won't say a masterpiece, 'cause, what's a masterpiece? But sometimes, there's a film. And I'm talking' about The Big Lebowski here. Sometimes, there's a film, well, it's the film for its time and place. It fits right in there. Hardcore film nerd or not, many of us probably have a go-to film that we've seen countless times and know the lines almost by heart, but still enjoy it as much every time. Well, to me, The Big Lebowski is that film.
Trying to deconstruct what is so funny or brilliant about it is probably somewhat counterproductive, but I will say that it is one of the best scripts I have ever seen, and the characters as well as the cast behind them are nothing short of perfection. And most of all, it is so insanely entertaining and quotable.
