Not as good as everyone says but it's a solid and pretty funny movie and the shabbas joke always got a laugh a good pick for movie night
140 characters isn’t enough space to summarize how great this movie is!
Like any good Zen movie it doesn’t actually go anywhere; it’s content to simply be. The Big Lebowski abides—don’t try to make sense of it.
The Coen Brothers said “let’s take film noir classic The Big Sleep, only it’s about a carpet” and made one of the best comedies ever
Take all the tropes of a classic noir film and turn them upside down—the result is a farce about one bum’s search for his cherished rug.
I didn't get it as much when I first watched it but it gets better and better the more you watch it.
This is not just a movie. This is a way of living. F*** it... Let's go bowling
Quite possibly the greatest comedy ever. Endlessly quotable, hilarious, and atmospheric—The Dude truly abides in a league of its own!
Bridges and John Goodman will have you laughing every scene, a top 5 all time comedy featuring The Dude.
John Goodman & Jeff Bridges absolutely deliver. One of the funniest films I’ve seen for a while, the characters carry this film- 9/10
