YesAsia Editorial Description

The Coen brothers have done it again. Mixing in Leninist philosophy, mistaken identity, crazy characters, a kidnapping plot, and a deep love of bowling, they have unleashed upon an unsuspecting world the many glories of THE BIG LEBOWSKI. Jeff Bridges plays Jeff Lebowski, known as the Dude, a laid-back, easygoing burnout who happens to have the same name as a millionaire whose wife owes a lot of dangerous people a whole bunch of money--resulting in the Dude having his rug soiled, sending him spiraling into the Los Angeles underworld. The film is beautiful to look at, especially the scenes in the bowling alley, which feature a vast array of bizarre characters--including Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Sam Elliott, and the movie-stealing, riotously funny John Goodman as the Dude's crazy best buddy. As usual in Coen brothers films (BARTON FINK, RAISING ARIZONA), the dialogue is hysterically warped; the plot is confusing, complicated, and kinetic; the soundtrack is virtually another character; and the acting is weirdly stellar. THE BIG LEBOWSKI is yet another thoroughly entertaining foray into the strange and fascinating world ruled by Joel and Ethan Coen.

"...The range of acting turns is rich....Best of all, in a memorably unctuous cameo, is Philip Seymour Hoffman...the best character-actor find in years..." - Jonathan, Romney (Sight and Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 05/01/1998

"...The Coen brothers, those far-out FARGO guys, cover everything with eye-popping panache..." 3 1/2 out of 4 Stars - Susan, Wloszczyna (USA Today Critic), USA Today, 04/03/1998

"...Mr. Bridges finds a role so fit for him that he seems never to have been anywhere else. Watch this performance to see shambling executed with nonchalant grace and a seemingly out-to-lunch character played with fine comic flair..." - Janet, Maslin (New York Times Critic), New York Times, 03/06/1998

"...Joel and Ethan Coen have crafted another shrewdly ironic valentine to Americana with this hilarious tale..." - Sean M., Smith (Premiere Critic), Premiere, 03/01/1998

"...The Coens are able to create wickedly funny eccentrics and possess the ability to energize certain actors to inhabit them completely..." - Kenneth, Turan (Los Angeles Times Critic), Los Angeles Times, 03/06/1998

"...Genial....It's weirdly engaging, like its hero..." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 03/06/1998

"...A masterpiece of anti-storytelling..." - Entertainment Weekly Staff (Entertainment Weekly Staff), Entertainment Weekly, 05/23/2003

Ranked #7 in Rolling Stone's "Top 25 DVDs Of 2005' -- "[T]he prize in this Coen Brothers 1998 goodie is still Jeff Bridges..." - Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 12/01/2005

5 stars out of 5 -- "LEBOWSKI sees the Coens embark on a delirious joyride through the great Sin City itself, executing some audacious hair-pin turns through the conventions of noir along the way." - Michael, Bonner (Uncut Critic), Uncut, 05/01/2006

4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hat makes the Coens' seventh film so inexhaustibly re-watchable is its oddball range of characters so gonzo, so heroically grotesque as to be the stuff of the greatest stoner-comic book never written." - Total Film Staff (Total Film Critic), Total Film, 06/01/2006

THE BIG LAUGH Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
A friend of mine told me not so long ago: "My son watches 'The Big Lebowski' once a week". Well, I don't watch it that often but rather often. It's one of the films that can be watched over and over again and you'll never get bored with it. When I started my DVD collection another friend of mine asked me: "Do you already have 'The Big L.'?" I said no and he continued: "Well, if I were you it'd be the first movie I'd get". And I thought he's right - this is absolutely a flick for all times. If you don't have anything to watch on a sunday evening and there's nothing new in video-renting shop you can always take 'The Big Lebowski' from the shelf and have a guaranteed pleasant evening. By the way I bought it the next day.
It's amazing how Coen brothers can combine comedy and criminal film. Their black humor is the best among all that exist in cinema. Every line, every word is a subject of laughter. For a long time you'll be recalling a rug, Vietnam and what happens when you do particular things to a stranger :)
'The Big Lebowski' is a true masterpiece of the 90's, and it'll be a jewel in every collection.
