2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   I couldn’t come up with a funnier cast of characters than the ones put together in ‘The Big Lebowski’. The Cohen brothers once again have created a masterpiece — this time centered around “The Dude” (Jeff Bridges). This film was one fun scene after the next. Dude was an excellent metaphor for a WTF attitude (and an ever present White Russian) that all of us wish we could have from time to time. The hilarity of the antics that the rest of the cast played was a perfect way to escape and make light of life (and more dramatic movies). There were so many great performances, it is almost too lengthy to report, but John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Philip Hoffman, and Julianne Moore were definitely stand-outs.
