The Big Lebowski

I had heard so much about this movie. Festivals are dedicated to it. It is a real cult classic. The movie is enjoyable and watching it one can tell which lines are inevitably repeated by cultists like words from a higher power. Jeff Bridges as " The Dude" is wonderful and John Goodman plays the buffoon sidekick to the hilt. Somehow The Dude is caught in a caper involving kidnap, mistaken identity and embezzlement. The movie is much better than one might think it would be in reading a synopsis. Bridges is perfect in his role, the script is well done and I enjoyed this movie. It is not Anchorman but like that movie provides many lines which hordes of men of a certain age will quote endlessly. My wife would roll her eyes and call this another one of those movies that is not as good as I think but it was good...I give it a 7. It is not high brow but it does not claim to be. It does not need to be, it is the Big Lebowski
