Major disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (5 April 2012)

I am in shock that the Coen brothers, who are responsible for Fargo, one of my ten best, could have written such a sophomoric waste of talent, most especially Jeff Bridges who is given the wonderful words, hey man and hey dude, over and over. It is as if Beavis and Butt head have turned from cartoon figures to real flesh and blood.
Bridges is the dude, who has been mistaken for a rich guy with the same name. The wealthy mans wife is kidnapped and the dude is drafted to be the go between for the ransom payoff for her safe return.
The dude smokes loads of pot, drinks heavily and enjoys bowling on a regular basis. His best friend is Walter, played by John Goodman as a Gulf War veteran with a violent temper. Steve Buscemi completes the triad and all three have never had so little to work with. What a huge disappointment from the usually reliable brothers.
