Sus personajes son tan carismaticos que hoy en dia conforman un gran pilar de la cultura pop cinefila y todo el mundo les reconoce (o deberia) nada mas verlos. Recomendada.… Expand

You could easily watch the entire movie and think it was nothing more than a great comedy filled with vulgarity and violence, but it's themes and characters end up arguably being the greatest part of the movie. Every aspect of The DudesYou could easily watch the entire movie and think it was nothing more than a great comedy filled with vulgarity and violence, but it's themes and characters end up arguably being the greatest part of the movie. Every aspect of The Dudes personality and perspective is represented in clever ways throughout the entire movie, making for a surprisingly deep and endearing film, as well as a character who still resonates with audiences years after release. A great film you could easily enjoy haphazardly with a group of friends, or intently by yourself.… Expand

"Hey Dude, do you have tu use so many cuss words?". This movie doesn't need any comment. The Dude. Just it. Go and watch it if you haven't already done it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's no other man for the job... Jeff Bridges is THE DUDE! The way in which the story establishes the sheer laziness and carefree attitude of "The Dude" is remarkable. No matter what happens to this man, you can't shake him up! Sure, his rug got peed on, thugs are breaking into his house, and his bowling pals and acquaintances are closing down on him, but nevertheless, "the dude abides!". The character development is solid and the acting is professional, and who could possibly ask for a better cast than this? Besides the 281 F-bombs, this film is hilarious and the entire story line can indeed have endless deeper meanings and significances.… Expand

I'm giving this film a Mild 7 because I would classify it as more or less entertaining.

If you can imagine potheads and semi-psychotic vets as a source of comedy then probably you will find The Big Lebowsky to be worth the watch. Ultimately, this film is not a comedy masterpiece, it's not deep, and it probably isn't correct to say that it's actually "about" anything. But it is more or less entertaining, which is why I call it a Mild 7.

I'm not really a fan of John Goodman, but in this film he does some good work and actually did provoke me to laugh "out loud." There is also a scene involving an artist "painting" like a Jackson Pollock no one has ever seen.… Expand

A very funny film, although slow at certain points. It's good that The Dude is a sympathetic character, because his friend is **** annoying, honestly.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Dude is the fantastic main character of the movie, who is almost like nihilists, he isn't interested in having sex, having a family or even a job, but he wants his carpet (or rug) back, because that is what's important for him. Clever, right? The movie itself is hilarious, and the histrionics of Bridges, Goodman and Buscemi are wonderful.… Expand

The Dude does some crazy things, and the dumb practical jokes he makes in reaction are absolutely funny. The ash spreading joke and the marmot joke are two of my favourites since they are so funny. Additionally, the character development is excellent. The Dude, Walter, and Donny are three opposites of a coin, respectively representing the lazy, bad-faithful bum, the excessively rigid and irritable hothead, and the frightened coward prepared to flee from anything that exhibits even the least hint of danger. Overall, the acting is quite good. Jeff Bridges' performance as the slacker here demonstrates his acting talent. John Goodman definitely includes the absurd comedy.… Expand

I think the Coen Brothers have done many much more impressive films in their career (Fargo, The Hudsucker Proxy, No Country for Old Men, A Serious Man), but I'm not blind to its appeal. For one thing it's very funny. For another it's got a great soundtrack. It also features some of the finest performances of John Goodman, John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore and not forgetting The Dude himself, Jeff Bridges. The plot itself is straight out of film noir, and is complex and multi-layered even by the standards of the genre - in fact, I'm convinced that the only way to make complete sense of the film is to be in a similar state of inebriation and/or being stoned as The Dude. That's one of my main problems with the film (though some might argue that it's part of the charm) - compared to most of the Coen's other work, The Big Lebowski completely lacks focus, and I find that a little irritating. After an hour or so you really couldn't care less what's going to happen, and it just becomes a steady stream of bizarre set-pieces. The film is never dull, but it never really has anything to say either. It may just be a weird series of events stemming from some stoned bum trying to get his rug replaced, which is fine, but a profound comment on everything from modern society to philosophy and religion it is not. But I guess as a cult film it's meant to divide you. I do like the Big Lebowski as a piece of entertainment, but just can't fall passionately in love with it as so many others do - it just doesn't speak to me.… Expand

Was the whole point that there is no point? It is so expertly made, and it really does a great job of making each scene entertaining. But the story just feels so unresolved, like I was waiting for a payoff that never happened. It is totally worth watching, and it is possible that repeat viewings might make me like it more. I give it a C, if you've already seen the best, but you insist on watching a movie, try this one out.… Expand

The Big Lebowski

It is odd to encounter a sketchy comic feautre by Coen Brothers and the exciting part is that they do pull it off not like the other genre that they are familiar with but the writing is quite powerful and funny at the same time. And on terms of execution there is no doubt on that part as they score majestically on projecting the anticipated vision on screen. On performance level Jeff Bridges is hilarious along with a great supporting cast like John Goodman and Julianne Moore (she is surprisingly funnier than any other cast member). The Big Lebowski had a great potential concept that is piled upon setting the plot and characters way too much that the joke grows shallow and numb when it hits on screen no matter how much they have worked on building it up.… Expand

Unfortunately, The Big Lebowski failed to "bowl" me over. I wanted it to "strike" me the way it struck others. However, it was more like staring down the "lane" at a "7-10 split."

The main downfall of the movie is that it's just not funny at all. There were certainly some funny scenes, but certainly not enough for a comedy. The plot was interesting and the acting was good, which saved it from being a total trainwreck.

It was one of those films where I really wished I could get the hours back that I had lost watching a film that I feel just doesn't measure up to some of the other Coen entries.

The film had moments that made me chuckle but never really had me in stitches with laughter, perhaps it just wasn't my humour (which is fairly broad I might add). I'll give it credit that there were some good performances during the film from the likes of Bridges and Buscemi but on the whole I wasn't hugely impressed. I must be missing why this film has such a cult status... then again some of the most terrible movies have cult status for some reason or another.… Expand
