How is this like Vietnam, Walter?

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2001)

Another fine performance from one of the greatest and most underrated actors working today, Jeff Bridges. He gives us the Dude, a lovable waste of space who gets caught up in a chain of events he has only a tenuous understanding of. Along with his crazed vet friend Walter (John Goodman: Comedy Genius)and hapless Donnie (the fabulous Steve Buscemi)he attempts a number of schemes and plans which start with him trying to rescue his soiled rug (Well, it really pulled the room together). Getting in his way are nihilists, crazy artists (Julianne Moore), "pederast" bowling opponents (John Turturro) and marmots. Oh, and the soundtrack features Kenny Rodgers. And ignore the rumours; different to Fargo, not worse. What are you waiting for?
