just did not care...

I love the Cohen Brothers. I've seen most of their movies way more than once. This one.. barely made it through once.
All the characters were horrible! I wanted to reach into the movie and clunk "The Dude" in the head. John Goodman's character was unspeakably rude and stupid and offensive. What a waste of Steve Buschemi! The only part that was amusing was Julianna Moore's character-- mostly because she was doing a great impression of Katherine Hepburn. Now that I think of it, the dream sequences were surreal enough to be interesting, especially the bit with a POV of the inside of a bowling ball!
My friend who recommended it replied to my objections by saying, "Oh, maybe I forgot to mention that this is a movie best watched stoned." Yeah... maybe. Do yourself a favor. Skip this one and watch Miller's Crossing again!
