"The Dude. One cool guy. Who one day comes home to find two thugs have broken in and ruined his favorite carpet--the one that made the room "hang together." Thing is, they did it because he's got the exact same name as one of the richest men in town, Lebowski. But, hey, no problem, he'll get even. At least he'll get someone to pay for a new carpet."--Container.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A Coen Masterpiece... submitted by mrmalade on January 22, 2007, 4:41pm The Coen brothers' ``The Big Lebowski'' is a genial, shambling comedy about a human train wreck, and should come with a warning like the one Mark Twain attached to ``Huckleberry Finn'': ``Persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.'' It's about a man named Jeff Lebowski, who calls himself the Dude, and is described by the narrator as ``the laziest man in Los Angeles County.'' He lives only to go bowling, but is mistaken for a millionaire named the Big Lebowski, with dire consequences. - Rodger Ebert

best Neo-Noir since Blade Runner submitted by irenzero on June 14, 2008, 9:37am The Coen Bros. May have justly received accolades for Fargo and No Country for Old Men, but to me, Lebowski is their master work, and will likely be recalled as their most popular and best remembered film. It’s not true that there isn’t a plot, if you peel away the layers there is, a clunky LA Noir plot the guides the film though it’s paces, but the real magic here is the characters, the dialog and the visuals… and it’s all played for fun. There is a body count of exactly 1, there is minimal tough guy dialog (but it’s in there) and it turns ever Noir convention on it’s head and works doing it. I also, on a personal note, have to say that this film has ruined so many other films for me. While watching a perfectly fine film like Hollywoodland, I will suddenly have that moment where one of the so quotable lines from Lebowski just pops into my head… It’s a rewarding, fun, re-watchable film with a surprising cult following and appeal…. In a phrase.. it really ties the room together.

Best Coen movie there is submitted by ferdoble on July 31, 2011, 8:51pm There may be talk of other movies, but this is the best. It is brilliantly funny and completely unexpected. what more could you ask from a movie. I can not give this movie a high (not a pun) enough rating.

Geez those guys come up with some memorable characters. submitted by lisa on August 21, 2018, 10:30pm And they know Steve Buscemi.

Show submitted by smr on July 2, 2020, 2:49pm Nice big show

90's funny submitted by LVDS on August 29, 2020, 10:23am Lots of F....words, but will make you laugh. Well done Jeff Bridges & John Goodman!!

garbage, far inferior to Fargo. submitted by Tassos on March 8, 2021, 10:52am One expects far more from the Cohen Brothers, makers of such GREAT movies as "FARGO".

one of cinema's greatest works submitted by tisaallen on June 15, 2022, 6:55pm The Coen brothers pack a lot of symbolism and commentary on America into what seems at first glance to be a crude stoner comedy.
