A fellow dude at heart

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2003)

A comedy with a difference, a case of mistaken identity. The Big Lebowski is an offbeat story with great dialogue and some very strange characters. The juxtaposed personalities of the Goodman and Bridges characters make for some great comic moments, including ten pin bowling, getting stoned and a kidnapping. The characters are diverse :- a stonehead, a rug, a man called jesus, a vietnam veteran, a millionaire and a floosy, and not forgetting the Germans (all in no particular order and there are many others as well). I've seen this film a number of times and its still worth watching again, it gets better every time. Watch out for John Turturro's unmissable role even though its fairly minor, hysterical! Long live the dude and people like him.
