obviously you're not a golfer

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2001)

This fabulous comedy by the Coen-brothers only keeps getting better and better the more times you see it. Bridges is perfectly cast as 'The Dude', the easy-going, laid-back kind of guy who spends his time bowling, smoking weed and listening to his Creedance-tapes. Goodman as Vietnam-veteran Walter who sees a conspiracy in almost everything and doesn't want to be bothered on "his" Jewish holidays comes up with another great performance as well as Buscemi, Moore, Seymour Hoffman and Turturro (in a very small, but entertaining role as bowling-king Jesus). And then there is Elliott as The Stranger who says he hasn't heard of a story as stupifying as this one. I couldn't agree more. Great writing, superb acting and a terrifying marmot!!!
