Don't Give in to The Man!

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2001)

The Big Lebowski, man, he is, like, so cool! I've never seen a movie that showed such a slacker and made being a slacker seem not so bad, and hey, I could get used to him. The Cohen brothers are always petulant, but here it seemed like they just said, "Let's have fun, and we're gonna film every minute of it." Hey, they're basically good eggs. Those squares bug the dude, they really bug him. The dude may sleep it off a bit too much, but he's got it all together upstairs. Somebody's after his rug, and he smells a rat; a big Commie rat. The main problem is that Lebowski's being terrorized by some hoods, and keeps wondering, "hey, are these guys employed by anyone?" The movie sure keeps you guessing, and the cast of the movie help to really dress it up. Jeff Bridges-this is some of his best acting, John Turturro-he's good, 'cause he has nothing to do with the film, and Julianne Moore-we'll settle on looks. I'm kidding, of course. Also, catch Sam Elliot as Mr. Exposition; it's a good thing he's here to walk us around this movie. Rating: 10/10
