"The Dude abides", one of the many great quotes from the cult classic movies written and director by the renown Coen Brothers. The Big Lebowski is an wild trip about a time frame in the life of your average American slacked Jeff Lebowski, otherwise known as "The Dude." Staring Jeff Bridges as a modern day hippie in Los Angles with his two bowling friends Donnie the quiet laid back played by the great Steve Buscemi, and Walter the Dudes short tempered Vietnam friend John Goodman. The story revolves the friends' bowling league and around a strange mix up involving "The Dude" and a well off older man who just happens to have the same name Jeff Lebowski. Kidnapping is involved and "The Dude" is mistaken and now has to find away to come up with the ransom money, to have the captures give back the real Jeff Lebowski's wife. With many odd twists and off the wall humor along with the adventures that Lebowski has, influenced by his bi polar friend Walter. The dialogue in this movie is what makes it the funniest. It is not filled with the typical slap stick comedy that is scene in most comedies today. Lebowski really does not car about much rather then his rug, white Russian, joints, and the occasional acid flashback. The Big Lebowski is rated R due to some drug use, language, and brief nudity. I give this move 3 thumbs up because of the excellent written screen play, and how you get the feeling that the actors are really the people in the movie. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a well written comedy with a twists.
