Critic Review - Los Angeles Times

As tempting as it is to completely dismiss The Big Lebowski, it's hard to do because the Coens are able to create wickedly funny eccentrics and possess the ability to energize certain actors to inhabit them completely.

In Turan's existence lie hope for people with Alzheimer's or other serious diseases - life is apparently possible without a functioning brain.

I love reading old reviews that have been exposed to be utter ****. TBL is without question the funniest film ever made. Name me one better?

It's a great movie, but to say it's the funniest ever made is dumb.

As tempting as it is to completely dismiss Kenneth Turan's reviews as being valid, I'm going to go ahead and do so.

@vincevaughn not really: say what you want about the tenets of national socialism, but at least it's an ethos
