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

Looove Jeff Bridges!.......2007-06-27

If you like movies that won't make you think too hard but still have a great plot line, this is the movie for you! I saw this movie back when it came out and I watch it all the time! If you want to laugh this is a great mindless movie! It is chalk full of loveable characters! And you will be intreged by the twists this seemingly silly movie has. By the end you will want to stand up and applaud! It is a GREAT movie! Instant classic! Great investment, and even better to add to your top 10 movie favorites!

It gets BETTER every time I watch it!.......2007-06-09

Seriously, I've seen this movie, oohhhhh, approximately ten times, and I enjoy it more and more each time.

I have no idea how the Coen brothers do it, but they manage to create characters that fit their cast, which, of course, makes for a perfectly cast movie. Every time. Especially in The Big Lebowski. And the dialogue! This isn't the only Coen movie that people vapidly quote, but there are more memorable/quotable lines in this one film than all the rest put together; and that's saying a lot, when you look at their film discography.

So if you haven't seen it, see it.

If you're not going to watch it, no matter what, then so be it. The dude abides.

COEN-esque perfection! Or a total nightmare........2007-05-29

OK. 1 question; do you like anything the Coen brother's have done? If you don't, do yourself a favor and keep on moving because this is a truly Coen film; dark, loathing, sarcastic (and those are the good points).

Seriously, the Coen's, Joel and Ethan, are a strange pair. I, for one, love their movies, some more than others, but all are entertaining at the least.

This one is truly bizarre. Jeff Bridges IS "the dude". He has a name, but that doesn't matter, because he just wants to be "the dude". Unfortunately, he shares a name with a very wealthy man and gets caught up in a kidnapping, extortion, fraud, baby-making (just watch!), catch-the-guy-that-peed-on-my-carpet (yeah, just watch!), adventure.

All "the dude" does is bowl. His team consists of an overzealous, ex-military (but should still be in the military) Polish born Catholic who converted to Judaism (just watch!) played brilliantly by John Goodman, and a guy that suffers from, well, deafness, stupidity or amnesia (acted well by Steve Buscemi). They have a big match against a team led by a guy that calls himself Jesus, who talks about himself in the first person and I quote, "Don't f... with the Jesus", who is Hispanic but wants his name pronounced like the biblical GEE-zus (John Turturro manages to stand out in this role with only 2 or 3 scenes).

Unfortunately, when "the dude" is mistaken for a rich guy (you'd think the empty apartment would be a tip-off) someone pees on his carpet and he wants to be paid for the damages. It's all downhill from there.

Here, I'll sum it up: Saddam Hussein (obviously pre-GW Bush) works at the shoe counter in a bowling alley in a dream sequence, backdropped by The First Edition's classic "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)"; it's like a bad acid-trip gone terribly RIGHT, somewhat disturbing and utterly hilarious.

One very serious caveat, the movie is rated R for many reasons. There are probably more 4 letter words than other words in this film, somehow a porno director gets involved in the plot with ubiquitous porn-stars, and, let's just say that "the dude" got to be "the dude" by smoking some stuff that ain't legal and drinking more than any one man should; white russians, which he prefers to call "caucasians", political correctness after all that, WOW!!!

Anyway, if you like the Coen's, I would say particularly, "The Hudsucker Proxy" (1 of my top 5 all time movies) or "Raising Arizona", this is probably right up your alley; sorry, bad pun.

It tied the room together.......2007-05-21

Although I have never gone out of my way to watch one of their films, I have enjoyed the handful of Coen Brothers films that I have watched during the last twenty years most notably Raising Arizona (1987) and O Brother, Where Art Thou. I have never watched any of their films in depth, but it is readily evident that they definitely bring something new to the table with their whimsical often bizarre and even more often violent films. I have had a mild interest in watching The Big Lebowski since its release way back in 1998, but, mainly because a friend of mine, a huge Coen Brothers fan, was a bit indifferent to the film, it only had a low frequency on my filmic radar. However, because of a new book concerning the fandom surrounding the film, I finally decided to pick it up and see what all of the hoopla was about and after watching the film I am now a believer in the Dude.

The film opens with the narrator, a cowboy played by Sam Elliot, introducing us to Jeffrey Lebowski, Jeff Bridges, who is commonly know as just "the Dude." The Dude is a sloppy, unemployed individual, but his being radiates something special so he is able to attract a number of friends. A complete slacker, the Dude spends most of his time drinking, getting stoned, and bowling. This rather unmotivated life would have probably continued in this way if two dimwitted thugs had not broken into his dilapidated apartment and beaten him up. If this was not bad enough, one of the thugs urinates on his rug that totally tied the room together. It soon becomes apparent that the Jeffrey Lebowski whose wife Bunny owes money all across L.A. is definitely not the Dude, but instead a millionaire who obviously would not live in the premises inhabited by the Dude. [...]. This meeting is far from successful, although the Dude does "acquire" a new rug, so the Dude makes his home after being propositioned by Bunny Lebowski. However, things turn interesting when Bunny turns up missing and the Big Lebowski wants to hire the Dude to act as a go-between with the kidnappers.

It is almost impossible to write a review that does justice for this film. Like the other films of the Coen Brothers, The Big Lebowski shines in terms of dialogue and characters. The witty and humorous conversations held between the Dude and his friend Walter are, in all honesty, some of the funniest that I have ever heard, also Walter is one of the coolest characters ever in my opinion. Also, the character play with each other is outstanding and it gives the viewer a feeling that he or she is watching real, albeit eccentric, individuals living their daily lives. Check this film out if you can. It will almost definitely tickle your funny bone if it does not give you a new view upon watching comedic films.

Big Lebowski.......2007-01-11

My grown children and several friends have said for years that I needed to see this movie. Well, I'm not disappointed. It is very funny. A friend that watched it with me, who grew up in North Idaho, said that the film characters reminded him of several guys he had know while growing up.

There is a lot of foul language, so avoid this if offended by such.

LA Bum's Journey Out of Obscurity.......2006-08-07

This is a fabulous film, one that I had rented so many times it was starting to look far more economical to purchase it!

Jeff Labowski's rug is compromised by a thug who mistakens Jeff for a millionaire he is trying to squeeze some money out of. Jeff "The Dude" sets out on what should be a very simple mission for compensation of his rug. This is when things go awry.

The Dude becomes involved in a kidnapping rescue mission, meeting ponographer's, a police chief, a child molester, a feminist artist and a teenage runaway on his quest to replce his beloved rug. It really tied the room together, you see.

If you haven't already, you must see this film.

Treat Lebowski Better.......2006-03-18

Personally I love The Big Lebowski. It's just hilarious and off the wall. I laugh the whole movie. The Big Lebowski isn't everyone's favorite so try catching it on comedy central first, if your not sure you want to buy it. In regards to this specific Collector's Edition copy it's not that great. There is a Coen Brothers interview, still images, and an introduction as the special features. In my opinion I don't think they gave The Big Lebowski Collector's Edition the treatment it deserved.

The Big Lebowski. Not!!!.......2005-11-24

So shoot me! In this day and age I would thin that if some DVD said "COLLECTOR'S EDITION" at the top it would have the various bells and whistles -- would have wide-screen and full-screen versions in the package.

Stupid me, when I saw the "COLLECTOR'S EDITION" I did not notice that it was a FULL-SCREEN-ONLY DVD package!

OK, so I am cryiny the blues now, but why do they do this????

No more Coen DVDs for me until I have sold this PoS DVD to somebody.

Description

The Big Lebowski: The Coen brothers' irreverent cult hit comes to DVD as a Collector's Edition, with all-new bonus material. The hilariously twisted comedy-thriller stars Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and Julianne Moore. Join the "Dude" and his bowling buddies on their journey that blends unforgettable characters, kidnapping, a case of mistaken identity and White Russians. Enter the visually unique and entertaining world from the creative minds of the Coen brothers and remember: the Dude abides.

Blood Simple: This critically-acclaimed thriller set in rural Texas combines chilling suspense with offbeat humor to create an all-American version of the classic "film noir." Abby (Frances McDormand) is cheating on her saloonkeeper husband, Marty (Dan Hedaya). The object of her affections is Ray (John Getz), one of Marty's bartenders. Marty hires Visser (M. Emmet Walsh), an unscrupulous detective, to kill them but Visser has other, more lucrative plans of his own. So begins a calculating round of double and triple crosses that build to a bloodcurdling, surprise-filled climax. It's an evil-minded masterpiece from the exciting filmmaking team of Joel and Ethan Coen. In Blood Simple, when someone's gone...it's never for good!

Intolerable Cruelty: It's comic gold as two of Hollywood's most dazzling stars - George Clooney and Academy Award-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones - light up the screen in Intolerable Cruelty, a hilarious romantic comedy about men, women, and everything that can go wrong between them. Sparks fly when brilliant divorce attorney Miles Massey (Clooney) meets his match in the beautiful but ruthless Marylin Rexroth (Zeta-Jones). From Academy Award-winning directors Joel Coen and Ethan Coen (Fargo; O Brother, Where Art Thou?), Intolerable Cruelty also stars multi-talented Billy Bob Thornton and outrageous Cedric The Entertainer.

The Man Who Wasn't There: The Coen Brothers are back with a dark and twisted film noir unlike anything you've ever seen. Set in a small 1949 California town, this is the story of a seemingly simple barber, who turns to blackmail and revenge to escape his achingly dull life. But in the tradition of classic noir, nothing goes as planned and nothing is as it seems. And as the barber's plot unravels, the delicious surprises, stunning revelations and just plain strange occurrences will disturb and delight you long after the film has ended.

Customer Reviews:

Great diverse collection from the Coens.......2007-01-04

This 4 movie collection from 2 of the most original minds in cinema is a real treat.
Big Lebowski is possibly the best example of the Coen brothers style as it contains elements of drama, mystery and comedy in an intertwining tapestry.
Blood Simple remains one of the best thrillers made since Hitchcock's prime.
Intolerable Cruelty is fun romantic comedy.
And finally the Man Who Wasn't There is fascinating film noir combined with a Lynchian sensibility.
The negative reviews below are silly. First, these films reprisent only the Universal films the Coen's have made, thus, it's logical and predictable that this box set contains nothing from the other studios.
Also, one reviewer giving the collection 1 star is a big Spielberg fan, yet, seems to dislike his more adult work. (Furthermore, if you don't even like the Coens' Blood Simple you should definitely stick to E.T.)
A reviewer from Australia gives this collection a single star because she received the wrong country format. (That's a real shame, but a movie review site is a poor place to discuss a customer service issue.)

Hopefully there will be other collections released containing the other Coen brother films from the other studios.

BLOOD SIMPLE IS ONE OF THE BEST FILMS EVER MADE.......2007-01-01

AWESOME SET.
BLOOD SIMPLE AND THE BIG LEBOWSKI ARE AWESOME. THE OTHER TWO ARE NOT QUITE AS GOOD, BUT ARE GREAT FILMS AS WELL.
BLOOD SIMPLE IS ONE OF THE BEST FILMS EVER MADE.
THE COEN BROTHERS ARE PERHAPS THE BEST FILM MAKERS AROUND IN THIS DAY AND AGE (TOO BAD THERE AREN'T ANY KUBRICKS LEFT OUT THERE).

Horrible Compilation.......2006-08-21

Atrocious Compilation - it's of some of the worst films the Coens' did (excluding The Big Lebowksi) and does not include their most famous films. What were they thinking? It's like if they released a Spielberg Compilation but only included Catch Me If You Can, AI, Minority Report, and War of the Worlds. WTF!!!!

Plus you can buy each DVD separately and come UNDER the asking price of the entire set. The BIg Lebowski and The Man Who Wasn't There are about 10 bucks new in most stores. Blood Simple and Int. Cruelty (which is the most UNCoen film ever) are closer to 5 in many places I've seen. So don't fall into the "compilation trap" because you are not getting a "bulk" discount. Just buy the films you want separately. Most Coen DVDs are very reasonable price wise.

Any Coen compilation without Fargo, Barton Fink, and Raising Arizona is worthless.
And again, you're better off spending $40 on those DVDs individually.

Cult classic.......2004-01-16

The Big Lebowski is the greatest film ever made and a cult classic. The cast is exceptional and the dialogue superb throughout.

Upon first watch it doesn't seem particularly special but it grows and grows on you once you get into the characters. John Goodman was born to play his role as Walter the gulf war veteran and best friend of The Dude who is played by Jeff Bridges and based on a real life person called Jeff Dowd. Jeff Bridges is fantastic as The Dude who is 'in the running for laziest worldwide'.

The film is typical of the Coen brothers' genius and their greatest masterpiece. The plot twists and turns with a laugh a minute along the way. The cinematics are exceptional and it boasts one of the greatest most fitting soundtracks I've ever heard.

Description

First, director James Toback discusses his new movie, Two Guys and a Girl, which stars Robert Downey Jr. and tells the story of a man who must come to terms with the dual life he has been leading. Then, John Turturro discusses his three new movies, the Coen brothers' The Big Lebowski, the Spike Lee film He Got Game, and The Truce, about the life of author Primo Levi. Genius violinist Yehudi Menuhin discusses his eight-decade career, the highlights of his musical moments, and his new school for young musicians.
