Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

cantona-32610 This is one of the best movies ever made. After watching it for the first time I liked it but when I watched it again I just simply loved it. It's just one funny ride from beginning to the end. You can watch it as many times as you like and still find it funny. Jeff Bridges at his best with perfect John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore and others. Coen brothers just gave us something rather special and you just can't go wrong with this movie. It's hard for me to understand why some people giving it only one star as it's clearly 9-10 stars movie,but as Dude said: Yeah well,you know that's just like your opinion man.

Master FX Master ZX For a misunderstanding a man loses his rug, makes a deal to help a wealthy man in order to have it back. Ended up getting in more trouble that is need it.This is one of those movies that I had an enormous curiosity to see, since everyone was telling me that it was good movie, and a few minority telling me that is a stupid overrated one. So I finally watch it and... it's fun, that´s about it. I haven't had this much fun watching a movie in recent years.The performances are all great, Jeff Bridges sells it as "The Dude", iI get why people like the character, I love John Goodman. I kind of like the use of Steve Buscemi and the Sam Elliott´s cameo. The characters are all very likeable, very distinct with their own ideals which most of them contradict themselves oddly enough.Sure the plot again is very simple, but not entirely predictable, I was always wondering where the story was going to go. We go around from one weird character to another and of course, those dream sequences, I had the WTF look on them.I also love the scenery, as someone who has lived in LA, this quite how it is, with some "fantasy" touch, it reminded me of other movies with more realistic approach to LA like Drive and Nightcrawler against your La La Land for example.If it's a real masterpiece or not is still something I need to analyze it for a few more time, but I can finally see what drives people nuts for this movie.

Eric Stevenson I'm going to say that this is the best movie I've reviewed for Channel Awesome Month. It's constantly referenced by the Nostalgia Critic obviously and a ton of other people. What makes this movie so great is that there's so much going on and yet in the end it's mostly pointless. Actually, it's worse than that. Things are probably worse off now that Donnie is dead and he even dies from something that isn't even related to the main conflict of the story. But you know what? We had a great time while it was going on. Movies like "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" are ultimately pointless, but that doesn't mean we're not entertained like mad while the movie was going. This movie tells the story of a guy named Lebowski or "The Dude" who meets a rich guy also called Lebowski. He's the Big Lebowski and he wants the Dude to rescue his wife. I didn't even realize Philip Seymour Hoffman was in this movie. We have such a fantastic cast with Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, and Julianne Moore. This is one of the most profane movies ever made with 260 f-words (although I only counted 258, I knew I lost my count a few times). They even manage to play with that. There are many four minute segments that feature no swearing at all to emphasis the more dramatic tone here. I guess it's ironic that the most beloved sports movie of all time happens to be one about bowling, not much of a competitive sport. It's truly heartwarming when The Stranger talks to us at the very end. He says that even though things were mostly bad for the dude, at least he can keep a positive attitude and if nothing else, live the life he wants to. Yeah, this is Steve Buscemi's best movie (I recently saw "Reservoir Dogs") and John Goodman's best too. ****

joachim-nijs I had the luck of seeing The Big Lebowski during a sneak preview in late March of 1998 here in Belgium. The room was packed, and afterwards applause erupted. The entire audience stayed seated and clapped until the final credits rolled. Since then I've seen it numerous times. I introduced my little brother to it when he was 14, only for it to become one of his favourite movies too. Quotable, quirky, quintessentially Coen. 10 stars!
