Pros: Great characters, great performances
Cons: Plot's a little stupid - but it really doesn't matter
Summary: Some movies are about something. You know, they have a dramatic tension, a moral focus, a story to tell. Other movies are about something. Sure, they have a story and all – be it delightful or disastrous, yet that story isn’t real ... read more

Pros: Hilarious, absurd, lots of heart, brillant acting and writing
Cons: None here
Summary: Upon re watching The Big Lebowski again, I find it hard to believe I didn’t really like the movie the first time I saw it. Then I remembered, I also wasn’t a huge fan of Fargo or O Brother Where Art Thou, the first time I saw them. I think ... read more

Pros: Jeff Bridges. Entertaining movie with interesting characters.
Cons: Plot is kind of senseless. Profanity may turn off some viewers.
Summary: With some movies, it takes me a while before I finally watch them even after hearing that they are good. The Big Lebowski is one of those movies.Jeffrey Lebowski, who calls himself The Dude, is very laid back, ... read more

Pros: Hilarious setting, characters and slapstick
Cons: The plot's a mess but who cares
Summary: Last month I posted my list of favorite comedies and made The Big Lebowski my #1 choice. Well I’m glad to say that my daughter obviously reads my reviews as she bought me the 10th Anniversary edition of The Big Lebowski for my birthday. Watching ... read more

Pros: Without a doubt, the characters are the strong point, especially The Dude and Walter.
Cons: One or two draggy parts, but forgivable.
Summary: Jeff Bridges masterfully portrays Jeffrey Lebowski, more commonly referred to as The Dude, Your Dudeness, El Duderino. He's an aging longhaired, sloppy hippie type (even makes trips to the grocery store in his bathrobe) with no means of gainful ... read more

Jul 30, 2007
Pros: Pretty deep comedy writing. Casting. Direction. Ideas.
Cons: Dream sequences, sorta predictable humor.
Summary: The Big Lebowski sucks. Not because of the actual movie, however. It's just that no matter what the viewer's opinion of the work actually is, he or she will constantly have the notion that it might be much better than anybody could possibly ... read more

Pros: Too many to list...
Cons: It ends...
Summary: What? The Big Lebowski, the oddball comedy of the century. Who? Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Tara Reid, Sam Elliot and Flea under the expert direction of Joel Coen ... read more

Pros: Oddball fun. Production number is nifty-cool.
Cons: Jesus. Swearing. Breasts, Rather too baroque for it's own good sometimes.
Summary: Somewhere out west, in a place they call the City of Angels, abides The Dude. The Dude's parents gave him the name "Jeffery Lebowski", same as the big millionaire on the other side of town, they aren't related, but everyone who knows him calls him ... read more

Pros: the acting, the humor
Cons: huh?
Summary: I've been a fan of the Coen Brothers for some time now. They have made some very quirky but highly entertaining films like Fargo, Barton Fink and Intolerable Cruelty. One of my favorites from their filmography is The ... read more

Pros: Smart,and funny. Strong characters.
Cons: Sometimes it can be too smart for the room. NOT A FAMILY MOVIE!
Summary: The Big Lebowski took the early-90s slacker mentality, and gave it an icon. Jefferey Lebowski, aka "The Dude," is the unlikely....well....I don't want to call him a hero, because what is a hero, anyway. Set in Los Angeles, CA, the film follows an ... read more

Pros: Great acting, writing, directing. real-life characters funny as all hell
Cons: it's hard to find cons in such a good movie
Summary: When I watch a comedy these days, I can't help but get angry at the sappy love story that, for some God-forsaken reason, finds itself twined into every plot. I watch comedy to laugh, not to follow the epic tale of two lovers who are destined to ... read more

Pros: The funniest movie ever made. And it gets funnier each time you watch it!
Cons: The Germans are always the bad guys!
Summary: If the Gods created us for their entertainment (as Greek mythology seems to suggest) because they could not come up with TV, then the Gods have slowly changed their taste from tragedy to comedy. They seem to be tired of creating those heroic stories like ... read more

Pros: Great acting performances, soundtrack, well directed, hilarious at times
Cons: Very few.
Summary: On a rather long airplane flight from Holland to Detroit recently I found myself sat infront of a screen showing Sea-Biscuit. Okay, I thought, heres an easy way to kill a couple of hours. How wrong could I have been? It was a very hard few hours as I sat ... read more

Pros: Twisted, amusing story for the jaded.
Cons: Very twisted, ugly little tale on scamming and lies.
Summary: After the sleeper hit Fargo the agile minded Coen brothers turned to their own home turf of Los Angeles, and came up with a story of an Everyman. He's not the sort of person that you would think of as us, but scratch the surface enough, and quite s ... read more

Summary: The BIG Lebowski: What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?
The Dude: [It's] Dude. I...I don't know sir.

Pros: Hilarious comedy
Cons: Can be slow for people who don't understand the jokes
Summary: This is the type of movie which people either love or hate. However, it is definitely one that you should see and find out which you feel about it. It is a very, very funny movie, based during the early 1990s, about a man named Jeff Lebowski, but who ... read more

Pros: Funny, entertaining
Cons: Overlong
Summary: I like the Coen Brothers. Fargo was good, O Brother Where Art Thou? is one of my favorite movies, and then there's The Big Lebowski. I think this was the first Coen movie I saw (Don't quite remember now), and overall it's their weakest. The movie is full ... read more
