The Big Lebowski: Part of Hangover Movie Marathon at the Rio Theatre

“That’s just, like, your opinion, man.”
In 1998, the Coen brothers delivered THE BIG LEBOWSKI into the movie universe, and we’ve all been collectively quoting it ever since.
THE BIG LEBOWSKI has really grown into its status as a true “cult classic.” A quirky, quasi-neo-noir story, truly glorious visual sequences, some hilarious dialogue and standout performances from an A-list cast really tie the whole thing together, man. Jeff Bridges abides as unemployed stoner Jeff Lebowski (aka, “The Dude”), a laid-back, easygoing burnout who just happens to have the same name as a millionaire whose wife Bunny owes a lot of dangerous people (nihilists?) a whole bunch of money. When some bad guys break into The Dude’s house and pee on his rug, he seeks out the other Lebowski, which sends him spiraling into a weird trip through Los Angeles’ even weirder underworld. Also starring John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, Philip Seymour Hoffman, David Huddleston, John Turturro, Tara Reid, and Flea.
This fan favourite is best enjoyed chillin’ with friends (maybe in your pajamas, an old bathrobe, or a comfy Cowichan sweater – your call, we can abide with however you roll) and maybe an adult beverage (perhaps a delicious White Russian or two – you deserve it! And yes, they will be on special at the bar!)
“A typical Coen brothers film is like no film you’ve ever seen.” (The Globe & Mail)

THE BIG LEBOWSKI (Joel and Ethan Coen, 1998 / 117 minutes / 14A) | Jeff `The Dude’ Leboswki is mistaken for Jeffrey Lebowski, who is The Big Lebowski. Which explains why he’s roughed up and has his precious rug peed on. In search of recompense, The Dude tracks down his namesake, who offers him a job. His wife has been kidnapped and he needs a reliable bagman. Aided and hindered by his pals Walter Sobchak, a Vietnam vet, and Donny, master of stupidity.
