A classic bowling, weed-smoking, satire comedy

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 1999)

This whole film was hilarious, there are few movies I've actually sat at in a theatre and hunched over in my chair laughing. One of my friends at this movie lacks a sense of humor and even he was cracking up. Jeff Bridges was hilarious as a bud-smokin, lazy, unemployed bowler and so was John Goodman as a crazed war veteran...The best replayed lines in the whole movie were John Goodman's "you are entering a world a pain" everytime something doesn't go his way and the antics of a femine bowler named Jesus (John Turturro) who always talks in some unknown accent and nonstop commentary. Some people didn't like the ending, but I thought the ear in the air and the ashes in the face added a twisted blackness to this classic comedy. Fargo is still the best Coen brothers movie yet, but this still comes in for a close second. Watch it over and over.
