The Big Lebowski | Year: 1998 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Joel Coen Actors/Actresses: - Jeff Bridges - Julianne Moore - Steve Buscemi - Tara Reid - John Goodman Love the characters, love the film The Big Lebowski is a wonderful, underrated comedy with great acting and an interesting plot. The unusual characters bring on a love hate relationship. If you love them this comedy might become one of your favorites. If not, give it a chance, you might change you mind on your second viewing. Jeff Bridges plays "the dude" who is an unemployed, laid back hippie. John Goodman is Walter Sobchak, an over reacting, Vietnam veteran who thinks that every situation has at least a literal connection to the Vietnam war. Finally Steve Buscemi plays Donnie, who is pretty clueless individual, always cutting in on the middle of a conversation. "Out of his element" Walter says to Donnie. These three opposites make up a league bowling team. Nearly half the film revolves around bowling. The plot begins when Jeffrey Lebowski (the dude) has his house broken into, his head repeatedly forced into a toilet bowl, and his rug peed on, an item which "ties the room together". It turns out that the assailants goofed, originally planning to harass the other Jeffrey Lebowski, the older richer Jeffery Lebowski, who's "trophy" wife, Bunny, owes money around town, even to known pornographers. These "rug pee-ers" came to collect, but showed up at the house of the wrong Jeffery Lebowski. This sounds bizarre, but don't worry the film gets even more bizarre as it goes on. Jeff Brides, John Goodman, and Steve Buscemi are all fantastic at these unusual rolls, enhancing the humor of the nihilistic plot. However, some audiences might find this film perverse and unappealing. Give it a chance though. This is one of those films you might dislike at first, but it may grow on you after your second viewing. Hated it at first, love it now Although I hated this movie the first time I watched it, "The Big Lebowski" moved to the top of my favorite comedy list after just one more viewing. Jeff Bridges stars as "The Dude," a hippy slacker who divides his time between getting high, drinking White Russians, and bowling in a league with his two offbeat friends, played by John Goodman and Steve Buscemi. After The Dude gets mistaken for a wealthy cripple with the same name, he gets drawn into an elaborate kidnapping scheme, and all kinds of shananigans ensue. While Bridges plays the loveable loser perfectly, it is the side characters who steal the show in this one. Goodman as the Vietnam vet / Jewish convert is absolutely hilarious, as is his feeble-minded sidekick, played by Buscemi. John Turturro, playing Jesus the pedophile bowling competitor, is brilliant as well. You may not have loved this movie the first time you watched it, but give it another chance. "The Big Lebowski" is a classic in my mind, and is highly recommended for anyone looking to laugh and to discover the source of so many one-liners repeated constantly by Lebowski fans. gay this movie really sucks hairy old fat balls. what kind of trashy filth is this? it dosen't even make sence.
