If you like movies about kidnapping, ransom, mistaken identity and bowling, this is the movie for you! It's a comic farce about our hero Lebowski (the dude), played by Jeff Bridges, who is mistaken for another guy named Lebowski (who is rich and owes money to the mob). The other guy is the big Lebowski, Bridges keeps telling the bad guys, and he is just the dude. In between all of this, he also plays in a bowling league with John Goodman (at his psycho best) and Steve Buscemi (who can never figure out what Goodman and Bridges are talking about). At one point where Goodman and Bridges are talking about money being a motive to do things and make a reference to Lenin, Buscemi starts repeating "I am the walrus" thinking they are talking about Lennon.

The Coen Brothers get a little carried away with some weirdness and dream sequences (as usual), but the funny characters and funnier dialogue, more than the meandering plot, make this their funniest movie to date.
