Review of The Big Lebowski (1998) by Germann. — 24 Sep 2009

This movie is spectacular....I must admit that the first time I saw it I thought it was "OK" but I've seen it many times since and it gets better as I listen to the dialog more carefully.

John Goodman is like a cranky Grizzly bear and steals many scenes with his angry outbursts and irrelevant rationale. The "real" Lebowski is like Dick Cheney poured into a wheelchair with a porn star wife.

.....Phillip Semour Hoffman is a brilliant brown noser and the Dude really ties the movie together with turns of defeated slacker logic and certain charming familiarity that makes him an ironic and lovable hero.
