usually a movie is about something more than a soiled rug , but not the big lebowski .
the new offering from the creators of 1996 's critical hit fargo , is to say the least , wildly entertaining .
originality has always been a strong trait in the coen brother 's movies , and the big lebowski is insanely original .
it begins oddly enough when jeff " the dude " lebowski ( jeff bridges )
is mistaken for a millionaire , jeff " the big " lebowski ( david huddleston ) , who 's wife , bunny ( tara reid ) owes money all over town .
two goons , out to collect on bunny 's debt break into dude 's house .
they attempt to collect the money that bunny owes them and one of them urinates on his rug .
the next day dude explains his situation to his bowling team ( steve buscemi & john goodman , respectively . )
he is advised to go to the big lebowski and get him to pay for the defiled rug .
he does this , and shortly after gets tied up in a kidnapping caper .
this is a extremely funny movie with lots of belly laugh moments .
the coen brothers have assembled a great cast that play off each other perfectly . also several great supporting roles , john turturro as a child molesting bowler named jesus .
the coen 's script plays off perfectly and it all goes together to make it extremely entertaining
.
i doubt this movie will be nearly as popular as fargo , but its off the wall moments make it so far the best of 1998 . if you like anything else the coen brothers have done you will love this one , if not they give this one a try its a little different .
extremely funny extremely entertaining you will love this one have assembled a great cast that play off each other perfectly great supporting roles wildly entertaining insanely original belly laugh moments
