@Anon_Jihad – NEVER be surprised at the quality of a Coen Brothers movie. Out of 14 movies that they’ve made, there are only 2 which I personally can’t wholeheartedly recommend….Intollerable Cruely because it was just a bit too close to the romcom formula for my tastes, and A Serious Man because I haven’t yet had the opportunity to see it. They have made some of the most brilliant, subversive, offbeat, dark comedy/tragedy/dramas in film history over the course of the last 25 years. I would say if you liked Lebowski, of their other work, if you haven’t already seen it, you should check out Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, O Brother Where Art Thou and Burn After Reading…all of these have a similar comedic feel and timing and offbeat point of view that made Lebowski such a gem. But really, in my book, you just can’t go wrong with a Coen brothers movie.
