"The Dude Abides."

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2014)

Bowling, mistaken identity, white Russians, and kidnapping. These are the words that describe the events in the plot of this movie. It's story is an unemployed bowler named Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) is one day mistaken for a billionaire also named Jeffrey Lebowski (David Huddleston). His rug is ruined so he get's the help of his bowling buddies an insane Vietnam Veteran named Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) and the Dude's other friend Donny Kerabotsos (Steve Buscemi) to get his ruined rug back. An innumerable number of subplots, a boatload of swearing, and some great lines are what make this film more then worthwhile. This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and everything revolves around the Dude. The Dude is a character who has accomplished very little, and does very little, but he seems to have managed himself a very happy life. And that's what really holds together. Everything (as funny as it may be) could have been left out but what you can't take out is the Dude himself. His reactions and way of doing things is what makes this worthwhile. If you haven't seen it then go find it somewhere and watch it.
