VHS Movie Reviews of The Big Lebowski

Movie Review: 10th Anniversary Edition - AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars

The Big Lebowski - 10th Anniversary Limited Edition
For all the Achievers out there, this is it! I love my 10th Anniversary edition, especially the packaging, being the avid bowler that I am. It is the classic version of the most awesome movie ever made with the second disc that has interviews with some of the cast recalling the making of this fine movie. You must abide and purchase this movie if you are a true fan. I'm going to go back and enjoy my coffee. Yup, just enjoyin' my coffee!

Movie Review: One of the funniest movies.
Summary: 5 Stars

The Big Lebowski is great. And who wouldn't want it in a bowling ball? If you want a movie that gets funnier every time you watch it, this is for you.

Movie Review: classic
Summary: 4 Stars

Very funny. Language is profane, but for adults not shocking. Bridges is outrageously hilarious. Not for everybody but great for most.

Movie Review: Mark it 8
Summary: 5 Stars

Cool collector bowling ball with extras. A must for any Lebowski fan. It really ties the room together.

Movie Review: The Dude Abides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is one of the greats.My whole family loves it.The package is great.All around a great buy!!!!!!!

Summary of The Big Lebowski

After the tight plotting and quirky intensity of Fargo, this casually amusing follow-up from the prolifically inventive Coen (Ethan and Joel) brothers seems like a bit of a lark, and the result was a box-office disappointment. The good news is, The Big Lebowski is every bit a Coen movie, and its lazy plot is part of its laidback charm. After all, how many movies can claim as their hero a pot-bellied, pot-smoking loser named Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) who spends most of his time bowling and getting stoned? And where else could you find a hairnetted Latino bowler named Jesus (John Turturro) who sports dazzling purple footgear, or an erotic artist (Julianne Moore) whose creativity consists of covering her naked body in paint, flying through the air in a leather harness, and splatting herself against a giant canvas? Who else but the Coens would think of showing you a camera view from inside the holes of a bowling ball, or an elaborate Busby Berkely-styled musical dream sequence involving a Viking goddess and giant bowling pins? The plot--which finds Lebowski involved in a kidnapping scheme after he's mistaken for a rich guy with the same name--is almost beside the point. What counts here is a steady cascade of hilarious dialogue, great work from Coen regulars John Goodman and Steve Buscemi, and the kind of cinematic ingenuity that puts the Coens in a class all their own. Be sure to watch with snacks in hand, because The Big Lebowski might give you a giddy case of the munchies. --Jeff Shannon
