this is like my opinion, man

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2003)

I divide the comedy genre movies in three groups: the first group consists of movies similar to "The Big Lebowski" style of movies. Here are also "Analyze This", "White Men Canft Jump" as well as all Eddie Murphyfs and Jim Carreyfs movies. Those films are build on some kind of plot and most of all clever and funny dialogues. In the second group are kind of movies similar to "Monty Python", "Top Secret!" and all David Zucker's movies, "Brain Donors", "Hot Shots!" and the like, to say movies without clean-cut plot just a bunch of unrealistic and meaningless situations accompanied by even more meaningless and irrelevant dialogues. And the third group is only occupied by Charlie Chaplin the true genius of movie making and acting and just everything.
But letfs get back to "The Big Lebowski" (TBL). To me this movie is probably the best one in its group. It is such a funny flick. If you are lucky enough to see it with friends you gonna say to each other those vivid dialogues and expressions for months to come. Just check out the TBL memorable quotes on IMDb; I think it has the biggest number than any other movie on that side. Every single word was hilarious. And Jeff Bridges man, the greatest. I remember watching him in "Arlington Road" after TBL and Ifve got to tell you I couldnft help myself but picturing him with a goatee, a potbelly, a ponytail and a pair of those huge Bermuda shorts drinking White Russian and smoking pot. It ruined the whole movie-"Arlington Road" I mean. One of the most memorable characters created on screen after Chaplin's tramp. OK overdid it. And of course John Goodman.

I suggest you stop reading and run off to the nearest video shop and even buy the movie. I envy you for the great time you gonna have watching it. On a second thought this one gets even better with every viewing. And don't forget to bring your friends along. It's double the fun.
