The Big Lebowski

(1998)

Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, Philip Seymour Hoffman

Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski,(Bridges)  is a down and out bum  who occasionally partakes in a bit of bowling. After a misunderstanding over some random hitmen urinating on his living room rug, he is thrown into a world of kidnap, ransom and violence, which the cool casual "dude" is not used to.

Why it has taken me so long to see this, i do not know. Actually i do, i was too young (11 when it came out) and didn't fancy sitting listening to my mother go "ooo" after each expletive. I would have never heard any of the bloody film haha. It was absolutly hilarous.  Enjoyed every minute and Jeff Bridges had me in stitches with his cool dude attitude......he was so cool, i think a gust of wind would have just blown him over.

John Goodman is extremly annoying, but i think thats the point.....he almost reminded me of his other extremely annoying character in Arachnophobia.  That is why i liked him :)

The supporting cast give as good as it gets....and it's quite sad to see what Tara Reid was, to what she is now. 

Great soundtrack, just an overall great film.

10/10

I wonder if they ever did win their bowling tournament?
