The Big Lebowski (1998)

I've got to tell ya , this is the first time I've ever seen this flick. I can't say I think is hilarious , although I do find this very funny and entertaining. Furthermore , I think J Bridges is just really awesome in his role here. He's got the aging hippie/stoner guy down to a T. ;) Dig it.
Released March 6th in the US.
Filmed entirely in California.
The story : Jeff Lebowski is a mellow kind of guy , who goes by the name "The Dude".
