<em>'The Big Lebowski'</em> is entertaining. Jeff Bridges and John Goodman are a fun duo, I even would've enjoyed this 1998 flick more if it was just those two for the whole near 2 hours. Everyone else on the cast is good too, amusing seeing Peter Stormare in a role like this - as opposed to one like John Abruzzi. Speaking of <em>'Prison Break'</em>, Jonathan Krantz is also in this! The film starts like a house on the fire, I did find the rest of it - particularly the middle portion - a little (emphasis on 'little') less as the story is stretched out a tad, though all in all it gave me a good time and I'd happily rewatch it no doubt.

And then there is *The Big Lebowski* a film that transcends criticism, defies genre, and somehow gets better with every single viewing. It is, quite simply, one of the best movies ever made. Watching it 28 years after it was made, and it has lost nothing. Not a single frame, not a single line, not a single moment of Jeff Bridges' magnificent, bathrobe clad bewilderment. It remains as fresh, as funny, and as profoundly *itself* as the day it was released. **The Plot (Such as It Is):** The Dude (Jeff Bridges) is a man who abides. He is a slacker, a bowler, a lover of White Russians, and a man whose rug really tied the room together. When a case of mistaken identity
