2. Summary

   Perfect 5.0

   Awesome the first time I watched it and every time after that.

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   Solid. The whole gang. I even like Tara Reid… as much as anyone CAN like Tara Reid.

5. Male Stars Perfect 5.0

   Apparently “The Dude” is based almost directly off of someone the Cohen brothers actually know. So when preparing for a scene Jeff Bridges would ask the Cohens, “Would the dude be high in this next scene?” they would think about it and inevitably say, “Yes, yes he would.” So Jeff would rub his eyes red and do the scene. If that’s not excellent execution of one’s craft then I don’t know what is.

    According to imdb.com: The F-word or a variation of the F-word is used 281 times… excessive? Let’s see:
