Reviews of The Big Lebowski 1998
-
I think it's fair to say I've given up on the June Challenge when I rewatch a favourite movie of mine to attempt to reconnect my film passion. I've run out of steam and am just trying to make myself happy. What else can make you happier than The Big Lebowski?
I mean, shit, who doesn't want to be the Dude? I'd give up ten years of my life to be The Dude. He is the most awesome guy who…

SO F***ING GOOD!
I loved this movies, and even though I could have watched it before, I'm glad I watched it now so I can appreciate the humour and the actors.
Jeff Bridges is perfect and hilarious with John Goodman adding so much laughs starting with their first conversation about the rug and Asian Americans. Julianne Moore is just awesome, and even though this is the only fifth movie I have seen her in this makes me want to go… -
Now, THAT'S a comedy! That's how a comedy is suppose to be. Natural and creative. Suck it, Movie 43.

One of the most absurd, and probably best comedies I've ever seen. All of the actors were on their A-game; I was laughing consistently during the majority of this movie. My only real complaint was that I wasn't entirely satisfied by the way all of these story-lines wrapped themselves up in the latter half of the film. Hopefully my appreciation for this will grow on a re-watch.
Also, this had one of the best soundtracks I've heard in some time.

Film 3 of my June/July-Challenge attempt
"Well, sir, it's this rug I had. It really tied the room together."
Do I have to add anything more to this review? -

What probably happened was, the Coen brothers had a bunch of cool visual and story ideas they didn't know what to do with, and they decided to make a movie out of these disparate elements. The result is a bit of a mess. You can just hear the Coens saying, "Hey, what if there was this guy who's the ultimate slacker? And what if there were these guys who thought they were nihilists but were just a bunch of pathetic…

John Goodman is really funny in this.

What is there to say about this movie that hasn't already been said.
