Review of The Big Lebowski (1998) by Jeremy S — 01 Jul 2013

So much love for this film. So many quotes. So many laughs. There's no wonder it's a cult classic, and one with a rabid fan base at that. The Coen Bros. show once again that they are one of the most creative duos working in cinema, going for an all-out original screwball stoner detective comedy rather than trying to recapture the success they found with the dark and edgy "Fargo.

" This is one of the few comedies I can watch countless times and laugh throughout the entire movie just from remembering what happens next. With its wacky, labyrinthine plot, hilarious dream sequences, unmatched quotes that have "Coen" written all over them, and two of the greatest characters ever written (The Dude and Walter Sobchak), this is definitely the film to beat as the most beloved Coen Bros.

film. The Dude abides. And I can take comfort in that.
