This is his story

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2008)

Jeffrey Lebowski,or simply The Dude (Jeff Bridges) spends his life doing practically nothing.Then one day he's mistaken for the wrong Lebowski and his rug gets urinated on.That makes him mad.He goes to talk to the right Lebowski (David Huddleston) to get some compensation for his ruined rug.This man has a young, sexy wife called Bunny (Tara Reid) who gets supposedly kidnapped.The older Lebowski wants The Dude to help him get her back-by giving the kidnappers the ransom money.The Dude's bowling buddy Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) comes along.Walter is a guy with anger issues and who takes his Judaism very seriously, even though he wasn't born as one.Walter decides to give the crooks his dirty underwear so that they can keep the money for themselves.And The Dude gets to suffer.Joel and Ethan Coen are the masterminds behind The Big Lebowski (1998).These brothers did very well at the Oscars this year with their movie No Country for Old Men.I haven't seen that movie yet but I surely enjoyed this one from ten years back.It made me laugh quite a few times.It's most entertaining to watch John Goodman doing some serious ass kicking.He's a good man.Jeff Bridges was born to play the part of The Dude.Many other known actors are in this film.Steve Buscemi is part of the bowling team, Donny.Julianne Moore plays Maude Lebowski.Philip Seymour Hoffman is Brandt.Peter Stormare plays Nihilist #1.Flea is Nihilist #2.John Turturro shows his bowling moves as Jesus Quintana.Sam Elliott is The Stranger in a cowboy outfit.Jon Polito, as known from other movies of the Coen brothers plays Da Fino.This movie is rated R for such reasons as the use of the F-word, drug content, violence and sexuality.All good reasons.So those who are all grown up and not too sensitive,The Big Lebowski is your kind of movie.
