"Not that The Big Lebowski is without its charms, but, like its central character, it is occasionally aimless and incoherent."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

B
"The comedy here is sometimes so sharp that you could roll in the aisle with laughter and not seem any odder than the characters you see onscreen."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"By taking it easy, the Dude abides and becomes a spiritual teacher of crazy wisdom."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

5/5
"It's the actors that make this film: without the perfect casting ... and without their perfect comic timing, it wouldn't work. But it does work, every minute."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

3/5
"O 'Dude' é um personagem absolutamente fascinante."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

B+
"Jeff Bridges as The Dude is stroke of casting genius."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford
