Editorial Review:
After the tight plotting and quirky intensity of Fargo, this casually amusing follow-up from the prolifically inventive Coen (Ethan and Joel) brothers seems like a bit of a lark, and the result was a box-office disappointment. The good news is, The Big Lebowski is every bit a Coen movie, and its lazy plot is part of its laidback charm. After all, how many movies can claim as their hero a pot-bellied, pot-smoking loser named Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) who spends most of his time bowling and getting stoned? And where else could you find a hairnetted Latino bowler named Jesus (John Turturro) who sports dazzling purple footgear, or an erotic artist (Julianne Moore) whose creativity consists of covering her naked body in paint, flying through the air in a leather harness, and splatting herself against a giant canvas? Who else but the Coens would think of showing you a camera view from inside the holes of a bowling ball, or an elaborate Busby Berkely-styled musical dream sequence involving a Viking goddess and giant bowling pins? The plot--which finds Lebowski involved in a kidnapping scheme after he's mistaken for a rich guy with the same name--is almost beside the point. What counts here is a steady cascade of hilarious dialogue, great work from Coen regulars John Goodman and Steve Buscemi, and the kind of cinematic ingenuity that puts the Coens in a class all their own. Be sure to watch with snacks in hand, because The Big Lebowski might give you a giddy case of the munchies. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - ONE 100% COOL POLISH-AMERICAN DUDESTER. LEBOWSKI LIKES HIS BREWSKI BUT HAS A TON OF INTEGRITYSKI - A CLASSICSKI!
A classic. Don't miss the message in the movie: Lebowski seems very party guy and laid back, but is the only guy in the story with a lot of integrity and heart. Classic!
Rating:  - see it for free on hulu (with ads) - great movie
just that.. i saw it on hulu a few weeks back. should still be there. video quality is actualy quite nice -- i full screen it onto my 56"..

Rating: - Beautiful
When I first saw 'The Big Lebowski' on its original release I enjoyed it but thought it was a bit of a slight "fun" movie with less depth than many of their previous works. Now, a few years and several viewing later, I have come to realise just how accomplished a movie it is, and it has become one of my all time favourite movies. Other film makers have attempted to weave together various genres, styles and images in a similarly eclectic, postmodern fashion, but few do it as seamlessly and with such ... Read More
Rating:  - R U Kidding?
Lots of 5 star reviews, gimme a break.
What an absolute load of ****, don't waste your money. Acting-poor, story-worse, if you enjoy a good movie don't insult your own intelligence with this garbage.
Rating: - Funny Classic
The first time I seen this was not long ago and I couldn't stop laughing. Great classic with great actors. I think just about anybody could enjoy this movie. Nothing but fun and laughs. Definitely worth is at the price on HD DVD.
