HArdboiled fiction with a Coen Bros twist
his is one of the Coen Bros best. A send up on hard boiled detective movies, with a dim witted, but well meaning hippy as the protagonist. Jeff Bridges is great as lebowski with a stellar support cast in John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and Phillip seymour Hoffman. Lots of laughs and clever banter. This has become a cult classic and even inspired Lebowskifest, a yearly convention to honor the movie and the wonders of bowling.
