Where do I begin with a review of this movie? If you're interested in seeing one of the strangest films in existence, then this movie is right up your alley. Jeff Lebowski (The "Dude") (Jeff Bridges) is a slacker living in L.A. who spends his days bowling with his friends Theodore (Steve Buscemi) and Walter (John Goodman). One day he returns home and is beaten up by two men and one of them urinates on his carpet. He discovers that they are looking for Bunny Lebowski, the wife of another man named Lebowski, and he is involved in a case of mistaken identity. The real Mr. Lebowski, a millionaire, hires "the Dude" to bring the ransom money to the kidnappers. Other mysteries arise when they discover that Bunny may have kidnapped herself. "The Dude" gets further input from Maude Lebowski (Julianne Moore), daughter of the millionaire Lebowski, a bizzare feminist artist. After watching several Coen brother films, I expected the unexpected. This film is the definition of unconventional. I watched it twice, and must admit that I laughed uncontrollably the second time around. The film is not for everyone, but if you enjoyed "Fargo", then you stand a chance of enjoying this movie. 5 out of 10 stars.
