Classic Coen Brothers Fare!

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2017)

In my quest to see every Coen Brothers' movie, I finally got around to seeing 'The Big Leboski'. Although not remotely close to being my favorite flick of theirs ('Inside Llewyn Davis' and 'No Country For Old Men' have that honor), this film was exactly what I'd hoped for ~ a truly quirky, non-predictable, well written/acted satire!
Starring Oscar winner Jeff Bridges as "The Dude", he played the lead role to perfection. Other amazing actors in this comic farce were John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore ~ and John Turturro, an absolutely brilliant actor who has been cast in several Coen movies now, including 'Barton Fink'.
It's hard to detail what this movie was about with specificity. Suffice it to say it was a supposed kidnapping adventure, intertwined with a heavy dose of bowling, and a bunch of dysfunctional friends with 'issues' trying to assist 'The Dude' out of his outrageous predicament.
For its superb acting and very unique story-line, gave 'The Big Lebowski' 7* out of 10.
