Somehow I'd never gotten around to seeing the Big Lebowski, even though it's loomed large in the zeitgeist for decades. We had members of the next generation over and while they'd seen it once upon a time, it seemed like a good flick to watch over pizza.
It's not what I expected. Yes, it's a stoner's tour of California, but under that skin it's a smart PI movie to rank up there with Chandler's best. The "Dude" bounces back and forth seemingly randomly between protagonists following the trail of a missing porn star/mistress/daughter and a briefcase full of money until he suddenly puts it all together. The Dude might be too laid back to be "hard-boiled" but he's got the right instincts.
It's a quintessentially LA movie, up there with two of my favorites: LA Story with Steve Martin and Victoria Tennant, and Into the Night with Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeifer.

This is just one of those iconic, eccentric movies you should have in your cloud collection. Timeless!
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023
I don't know how often this goes on sale for $10.30 but that's a steal for a 4k& blu ray pack. It's a timeless classic that should be in everyone's collection. My old man and I had to pause for a full minute while dying of laughter during one scene. Do yourself a favor and watch this while sipping a white Russian, which is 2 parts vodka (I think Smirnoff in the movie) 1 part Kahlua and 1 part cream.
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2017
As a college student with a very busy schedule, life can be very stressful at times. For me, when I get stressed I watch films. This has been my favorite pastimes for many years and, in those years, I have seen many movies. Some of the movies have been entertaining and well made, while others have been complete failures. One film that is among the more memorable is the Coen brothers’ film The Big Lebowski. This 1998 comedy is certainly one of the best, and most hilarious, films I have ever watched. The hilarious dialogue, enthralling story, and great acting are what make The Big Lebowski one of the most influential films in recent years.
The dialogue is one of the most effective pieces in this film. It is certainly a film that I, and many people around me, quote frequently. One of the most memorable lines in the movie is the classic, “The rug really tied the room together,” (The Big Lebowski), which is repeated numerous times throughout the film. This is funny because the rug, that is so frequently mentioned, was urinated on at the very beginning of the movie and, it is the only reason why the Dude pushes on through the madness during the film. Another, and equally memorable, quote in the film is at the very end of the film when the Dude utters, “Yeah? Well, the Dude abides,” (The Big Lebowski). This laid back comment is so comical because the Dude has gone through so much at this point in the film, yet he is still content with the way things ended up. The memorable dialogue in The Big Lebowski is credited to the movie’s brilliant writers Joel and Ethan Coen, who also directed the film.
Another great component of the Coen brother’s writing can be seen in the film’s outrageous story. There are so many twists and turns in this movie which just adds to the hilarity of it all. The film starts with a bang when the Dude returns to his home, after grocery shopping, and is attacked by two men asking, “Where’s the money Lebowski?” (The Big Lebowski). The comedy in this scene comes from, the Dude getting mistaken for another Jeffrey Lebowski, and being the inciting incident that throws the Dude immediately into his absurd quest for a new rug. Another hilarious part of the film is when John Goodman’s character, Walter Sobchak the Vietnam War vet, destroys a Corvette he mistakenly thought was a young boys’, with a crowbar, which resulted in the car’s true owner smashing the Dude’s car. In any movie, no matter how good the writing is, the actors must be able to deliver it in a way that is believable. In the case of The Big Lebowski, it must also be funny, and that is exactly what the actors were able to accomplish.
The acting is by far the most important aspect of the entire movie. Everyone who was cast in The Big Lebowski was able to deliver every joke with great timing, yet make their character believable even though the story is so off the wall. Jeff Bridges’ portrayal of the Dude could not have been better because he was able to make the absurdity going on around him completely believable. A great example of Bridges’ ability to do this is in the scene where the Dude gets one of his friends ashes thrown in his face while spreading them in the ocean. What makes Jeff Bridges’ acting so funny in this scene is his stoic face and almost non-existent reaction. John Goodman also did a fantastic job as Walter in this film. As his character, Goodman had to go from being completely calm, to being furious, back to acting completely calm in an instant and that’s exactly what he did. The scene that Goodman demonstrates this best is when he pulls a gun on one of his friends for not marking their foul while bowling. To this day, whenever I see Bridges in a film, I immediately think of the Dude.
While there are many fans of the film, it is, of course, not for everyone. The biggest complaint I have heard from the people that I have recommended the movie to has been that, while there are many surprises in it, the film doesn’t really go anywhere, which is exactly what I thought the first time I watched the film. Although I do see their point, I think the reason why somebody would say something like this is because, what the Dude is trying to do is get a new rug, since the two men from the beginning of the film peed on his first one. This, to most people, is not a story worth telling or watching, but the movie is more about the Dude’s journey than what he is seeking.
I would recommend The Big Lebowski to anybody looking for a good laugh. The one piece of advice I would give, though, is that if you don’t like it the first time give it at least one more chance, if not two chances, all the way through. Because of the film’s memorable dialogue, ridiculous story, and great acting, I would give The Big Lebowski a whole hearted A+.

So, there I was, sitting on my cozy couch, minding my own business, when I stumbled upon "The Big Lebowski" on Amazon Prime. I thought, "Hey, why not give it a shot, man?" Little did I know that my life was about to take a mind-bending trip down the rabbit hole of bowling, White Russians, and nihilistic Germans.
This movie, man, it's like a wild mix of twisted humor and philosophical musings, all set against the backdrop of the Dude's laid-back existence. Jeff Bridges absolutely nailed it as the Dude, a character who somehow manages to make bathrobes look cool. Seriously, if you don't want to become a bathrobe enthusiast after watching this movie, I don't know what will.
The supporting cast is just as incredible, man. John Goodman as Walter is a total loose cannon, constantly shouting and waving his gun around like it's nobody's business. Steve Buscemi as Donny is the guy you feel sorry for because he's constantly being interrupted. And let's not forget about John Turturro's unforgettable cameo as Jesus Quintana. That guy is one oddball, but man, does he know how to dance!
"The Big Lebowski" is a masterpiece of absurdity, blending bowling, mistaken identity, a stolen rug, and a mix-up with the wrong Lebowski. It's a rollercoaster ride, man, with unexpected twists and turns that will leave you scratching your head and laughing out loud at the same time.
Oh, and did I mention the soundtrack? It's like a musical journey through the Dude's mind. From Creedence Clearwater Revival to Bob Dylan, it's a groovy collection of tunes that perfectly complement the movie's laid-back vibe.
This movie isn't for everyone, man. It's a weird mix of comedy, mystery, and existential pondering. But if you're open to embracing the Dude's philosophy of taking it easy and going with the flow, then "The Big Lebowski" will surely abide with you, man. Just remember to stock up on White Russians before pressing play, and be ready to quote lines like "The Dude abides" for the rest of your life.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a movie that will make you question reality while keeping you entertained, man, look no further than "The Big Lebowski." It's a true gem that deserves a special place in your movie collection. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find a bowling alley and embrace my inner Dude.
Stay groovy, my friends!

Now that Netflix has stopped shipping DVDs and blu-rays, I decided to start building a little library of movies that I don't mind re-watching and having available to lend to family and friends.
There have just been too many times that I wanted to watch an older movie just to find that it is not available on any of the half a dozen or so streaming services I subscribe to.

Reviewed in Canada on November 20, 2018
Picked up the 4k limited edition version... The bag is decently well made of faux leather and resembles Walters bowling bag, it's about half size... inside you'll find the red pencil holder ball (also looks fine as a display thing without pencils stuck into it), a pretty small and thin cleaning cloth which looks like the dudes rug (the Big Lebowski logo is printed across it which kinda kills the concept a bit), and finally you get the regular version of the 4k bluray stuffed into an ok quality "cozy" which looks similar to the dude's sweater... cute, but an odd choice in my opinion, an opportunity missed.
At the end of the day the movie is what matters and it looks great in 4k! Very happy to have my favorite movie in such pristine quality... the special features are on the second regular bluray disc. I believe they are the same extras from the last bluray release. Could have gone a little deeper with extras for the 20th Aniversary, but it's all good, probably not much more to say on the subject at this point in history. I rated this movie at 5/5 but the limited edition extras might get closer to a 3/5... not terrible but not great, some bits better than others etc.
Comes down to this... are you a fan of this hilarious film and own a 4k player/TV? If yes buy it, whichever 4k edition suits your needs... It's just that simple.
