Director Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Cast Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, Tara Reid
Genre Comedy, Crime
Summary “Dude” Lebowski is mistaken for a millionaire which spurs a string of unfortunate events involving a kidnapping and owed money.
Thoughts Goodman’s character irritated the shit out of me. I’ve heard a lot about this movie, and the Coen brothers, and expected a little more than I got. If anything, this film was frustrating. The explicative a-ha moment was interesting, but definitely not redeeming enough.
Recommend? No, not even without expectations.
Rating ★★
