Powerful Characters Fooling Around. ♦ 65%

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2013)

John Goodman's character impressed me more than the Dude did. Because he is funnier & deep.
Following the story of how a slacker and his bowling club friends fall into a parade of crime is written with humor in mind. The characters are very different & genuine from each other. The boldness is another thing to consider. Great music playing as the background score, there are few moments when it comes to total laugh out. The thought of these sequences will make you laugh. Improbable situations deliberately brought out by the characters will feed you with story, narration & food for thought.
Lengthening the plot a bit and shut-up ending makes me feel not totally satisfied by the dude & his chums. I'll rate a humble 6.5/10 for the gang and the eclectic characters, music & setups. Very impressed as this is my first film by Coen Brothers. Steve Buscemi is good while Jeff Bridges is cool as hell.
BOTTOM LINE: Extremely funny for people who can relate. Moderately funny for people who enjoy logical scripts.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO
