I'm a big Coen brothers fan and really gave this one the benefit of the doubt. Watched it again recently after having seen the original in the theater on its release. Now I have friends who go to Big Lebowski conventions, co-workers who have the bowling shirt, etc. I get the adulation. However, I found it a real chore to sit through. Ham fisted, obvious, even the vaunted Jeff Bridges performance seemed weak to me - _affected_. Definitely a few guffaws were had but in general this felt really dull to me.

No female I've ever shown this to has enjoyed it nearly as much as any Y chromosome. A ridiculous romp whose atmosphere belies its surprisingly twisting storyline. On the surface it is nothing more than a celebration of the lazy spirit in all of us, yet the film succeeds as a Seinfeld-ish study of the human condition. Or maybe it's just a fun movie.

It was nowhere near as good as everyone says. Maybe I just didn't get the jokes. I mean, I understood what parts were supposed to be funy; they just weren't to me.
