The Ultimate Lebowski Experience

R, 117 min. Directed by Joel Coen. Starring Jeff Bridges.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., July 23, 2002

This is so much more than a parking-lot screening of the wonderful Big Lebowski. In addition to the outdoor screening of the film, the ticket price allows patrons to bowl for two free hours after the screening and receive one free White Russian. Additionally, the reputed real model for Jeff Bridges' character of the "Dude," Jeff Dowd, will be in attendance.
