This movie was borrowed to us from a friend. My favorite types of movies to watch are ones that I've never heard of and are just given to me to watch, usually it ends well and I love the movie, this one didn't end that way.
I don't even really know what to say about this movie. It was so full of unneeded F words that it was hard to filter through to the story line and figure out what's going on. It was described as a comedy, but we rarely laughed. The funniest scene was where Lebowski is pouring out his friend's ashes over a cliff and they blow back into Water's face. Other than that we sat stone faced on the couch with maybe a little chuckle here and there.
Bridges does do a good job at portraying the lazy bum and he does make it interesting but not enough to really pull us in.
It's not a movie I would recommend to anyone but maybe I need to watch it again to actually get it...
I give it one out of five stars
