The Big Lebowski (DVD) Reviews

The Big Lebowski is a case of mistaken identity. This is what the voice of the narrator say at the beginning of the movie. And indeed, it is. It is also one of the funniest and most clever movies I have watched. Produced in 1998 by the Cohen Brithers, it stars Jeff Bridges as "The Dude". The Dude lives a quiet life, ...  Read the complete review

The Coen brothers are legend and this is one of their greatest movies. The movie is about a lazy stoner 'The Dude', who gets sucked into a noir-esque detective story. The tag line for this movie should be the quote "all the dude ever wanted was to get his rug back." perfectly summing up the dude's attitude towards everything ...  Read the complete review

The Big Lebowski is a 1998 film written and directed by Ethan and Joel Coen. Jeffrey Lebowski, or "The Dude" as he prefers to be called(Jeff Bridges), is a laidback, unemployed guy who only seems to have two things he loves - white russian cocktails and bowling. When he is mistaken for a millionaire of the same name ...  Read the complete review

The Big Lebowski follows the story of The Dude - a deadbeat who bowls, drinks white russians, and appreciates a good rug - and his friends; Walter - an Vietnam Veteran who seemingly can't talk about anything other than Vietnam ("I watched good men die face down in the mud so that we can all enjoy this family restaurant!") and Donny - a ...  Read the complete review

This is without a doubt my favourite Coen brothers' film. Not only has the character of the Dude spawned a religion, he has doubtless inspired a new generation of students to drink white Russians and go bowling. Faultless performances from Steve Bushemi, John Goodman and Jeff Bridges (who has never suited a character so well) make this a film one ...  Read the complete review

In this 1998 comedy/ thriller directed by the infamous Cohen Brothers, Jeff Bridges stars as Jeffrey Lebowski; a loser/ stoner type who goes by the moniker "The Dude" and spends his time hanging out at the local bowling alley with his pals, the psychotic war veteran Walter (played by John Goodman) and the increasingly annoying Donny ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room The Coen Brothers are known for their quirky and idiosyncratic sense of humour, and also their dark plots that plumb the depths of greed and death. The Big Lebowski is one of their best films, combining some hilariously spirited performances with a great script and typically ...  Read the complete review

There are few movies I like to watch and watch again like The Big Lebowski. The movie is surely my favourite from the Cohen Brothers, who are the directors. The main character is "The Dude" as everybody knows him, but on the ID card, nobody less than Mr Lebowski. The movie, or the plot, I should say, it is all ...  Read the complete review

This is one of my favourite films ever. The film focuses on a central character who goes by the name "The Dude" aka Jeff Lebowski, who was a hippy when he was younger and has continued the trend into his midlife. He spends his time bowling, drinking white russians and spending time with his two bowling buddies Walter and ...  Read the complete review

This film has created one of the greatest icons in cinema history, an image of ultra-hippy, easy going, high all the time life - The Dude! just on the brilliantly weird characters in The Big Lebowski, possibly the only film with a main premise of bowling. It even seems at times that the movie doesn't really want to get anywhere - kind of a ...  Read the complete review

The Big Lebowski (1998) is one of my favourite films. This is perfect Coen brothers at their best. It is laugh out loud funny throughout and is such a different story. It brings together Jeff Bridges, Steve Buscemi and John Goodman, an unlikely trio but all brilliantly cast. Bridges plays Lebowski (not the wheelchaired Lebowksi) but ...  Read the complete review

I've always been a huge fan of the Coen brothers movies, particularly thair ability to leap from genre to genre and outdo the masters in each. In this film, they tackle the stoner comedy genre. The film concerns two men with the unlikely surname Lebowski. The first, the 'Big' Lebowski, is a self-made millionaire with a beautiful (if somewhat ...  Read the complete review

The Big Lebowski is the Coen brother's seventh film. In fact it's their 'middle film' if you like. They made six films prior to this, and have subsequently (with the yet to be released 'Burn After Reading') made six films after it. The story revolves around Jeffrey Lebowski - also known as 'The Dude', magnificently played by Jeff ...  Read the complete review

I have to be honest I was a little disappointed with this film. Usually I like pretty much anything the Cohen brothers direct however I found this film to be a little falt and to lack the cutting edge of their other work. The main character in the film is Jeff The Dude Lebowski who is played by Jeff Bridges. The Dude is an ageing hippy ...  Read the complete review

THE BIG LEBOWSKI The Dude (Jeff Bridges) isn't married. He doesn't have a ring on his finger, enjoys leaving the toilet seat-up and pays for milk via cheque because he's your average irregular bum. From the looks of his ramshackle home, he's not a millionaire either. All of which is quite bemusing for the two clueless goons that have ...  Read the complete review

--------Introduction-------- This is a film written by Joel and Ethan Coen (Raising Arizona (1987), Miller’s Crossing (1990)), and directed by Joel Coen. This comedy, released in 1998, is the follow–up to the critically acclaimed and Academy Award winning Fargo (1996), but sadly was a theatrical flop. Nonetheless The Big Lebowski has enjoyed ...  Read the complete review

Bowling. Thats somewhere in the 1980's isnt it? just outside laserquest. its important that you dont cofuse bowling with bowls, because there completely different. one is played by old Scottish people (no offence, but in my experience, it is), the other is played by the 'Dude', 'Walter' and 'Donny', the three ...  Read the complete review

This is very close to my favourite film of all time. If you like cult films, which you can watch over and over again then you have to see this. To start with its from the Coen Brothers,(Blood Simple,Raising Arizona,Fargo, O' Brother Where Art Thou, etc.)the most gifted film makers of our generation. This is a film that is original,unbelievably ...  Read the complete review
