What’s Hot
- Joel & Ethan Coen are known for coming up with their best in serious films like Blood Simple, Fargo & Miller’s Crossing! What bowls you over is the fact that they can be as good in a stylishly comical setup like the one created in this film!
- Jeff Bridges plays a pivotal role in making this fun film hit the bull’s eye. The character’s cool dude attitude, laziness & raw power are thoroughly enjoyable.
- His snow-bowling teammates in John Goodman & Steve Buscemi is brilliantly spontaneous and the duo, when they mouth their wits, bring the roof down.
- Coens are known for eccentric dialogues and the dialogues in this film with the heavy dose of nonsensical one-liners is no exception.
- The soundtrack has apt tunes and songs picked tastefully from various albums.
What’s Not
- The plot loses intensity at some points making the film sag a bit.
- The film doesn’t take itself seriously. Fans of Coen’s serious films may not be all that pleased with Lebowski.
