The Dude Abides!
By Daylight from London , 05 Mar 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Many people saw his film as a disappointment upon its initial release following on from the hugely acclaimed Fargo but since then it has rightly claimed its place as one of the most popular Coen brothers films. This is largely due to the fact that this is a film that improves upon every viewing.
Neither before nor since have the Coens brought together so many wonderful characters in one movie. The film is anchored by possibly Jeff Bridges best ever performances as The Dude, a laid back, aging LA dropout with a taste for Credence. It really is an exceptional, perfectly timed and delivered comedic performance.
However this is backed up by a host of near perfect characters. John Goodman excels as the ‘Jewish’ Vietnam vet Walter who is partnered with Steve Buscemis bug eyed Donny. John Turturro delivers one of the greatest movie cameos ever as bowling Jesus. And as if that wasn’t enough you have top class turns by, among others, David Thewlis, Julianne Moore, Sam Elliott, Philip Seymour Hoffman and David Huddleston.
The script is certainly the Coen’s funniest (with so many quotable lines it would be an insult to single any out) but as always this is twinned with wonderful visual imagery, most notably in the brilliant trip sequence.
This is without a doubt one of the best comedies of the decade and personally one of my favourite films of all time. Unmissable.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer , 16 Mar 2013I enjoyed this film but you definitely have to have a particular sense of humor. As with films like anchorman, some people just dont get it. Overall it was a good film but some parts were a little flat. I would definitely recommend to people that have a weird sense of humour but not people looking for a serious film!- Was this review helpful to you?

Do not rent this film!
By Marketmaker (2 reviews) , 27 Feb 2013One of the worst films I've seen in a long time despite the great cast. Boring and disjointed, really crap storyline. Truly awful film. Two hours of my life I will never ever get back :(- Was this review helpful to you?

All the Dude wants is his rug back..
By a customer , 26 Oct 2012Characters, script and plot work so well together, but it's the work that's gone into the detail that makes this film great. each time you watch it you'll find something new to make you chuckle- Was this review helpful to you?

What am I missing?!
By fredrockz (33 reviews) from Portsmouth , 08 Oct 2012Seriously, what am I missing with this film? It has an excellent IMDB score and great reviews on here, so I order it, put it on and only manage 30 mins before I am bored to tears. I am putting it down to the fact this came out in the nineties, so maybe this is a 90's cult classic movie that you had to have seen back then to enjoy now. In my opinion, absolute drivel.- Was this review helpful to you?
