One of the best comedies I've seen in ages.

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2008)

The tale begins, well, not so directly here, when two idiot goons mistake Jeffrey "the Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) to another man with the same name sans "the Dude", and take a leak on his carpet, while trying to get him to cough up some dough the other Lebowski's wife is due. From here The Dude finds the other Lebowski, who's a millionaire with a young wife, and demands reconciliation for his rug. Now one thing leads to another and one person stranger than other waltzes into the screen while the Dude tries to figure out what is going on and who's fooling who.
The Coen brothers have gathered together a great cast, ranging from Bucemi to Goodman. The script is tight and flows well, the direction is solid and the actors do their damned best as they should. This ends up with one of the funniest comedies I've seen in ages: Witty, surprising, odd and all around plain awesome. There isn't a single actor in the film, that would do a sub par delivery in the story and all the pieces clash nicely together while the bizarre tale of bowling and betrayal unfolds before the viewers eyes.
I can't do nothing else but to recommend this, as this is one of those films, that will last time more than a week or two. This is one for the ages.
