The Big Lebowski

Two dudes embark on a great adventure, sounds like a simple plot right? It is actually a classic tale of comedy and mystery with themes of identity, sex and comedy. What I liked about the Big Lebowski were the jokes that drove the plot, like in the midst of a fight, a bowling ball is thrown, and in the middle of a funeral, ashes are thrown into Leboski's face. This shows the random comedy of the Big Lebowski. I liked the parallels to western movies, ie tumbleweeds going through the streets of LA and Lebowski gaining advice from a cowboy.  The Big Lebowski is my new favorite slacker comedy, a great one for the whole family.....maybe not, but still an excellent movie.
