I didn't know movies could kick this much ass

Rating: 10/10 (26 September 2003)

The Big Lebowski is one of the Coen brothers' best movies so far. I can't believe that more movies aren't this funny or original. Hollywood needs to take a lesson from the Coens and start making quality films instead of churning out crap like Gigli and Legally Blonde. The Big Lebowski is perfectly cast. Jeff Bridges IS the Dude and I've never seen him more comfortable and at home in a role. John Goodman's Walter is one of the funniest and most conflicted characters he has ever played. Everyone in the movie does well, Philip Seymour Hoffman deserves praise for his proper, endlessly smiling assistant Brant. The soundtrack enhances the feel of the film and fits it perfectly. The humor and innate weirdness of the movie only furthers the genius of the Coen brothers. Bottom Line: So funny, so great, so Coen, if you don't like this movie I'm sorry but you don't know what GOOD is.
