Synopsis:
The Dude, Jeff Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) is unemployed and laid-back until victim of mistaken identity, two thugs break into his apartment in the errant belief that they are accosting Jeff Lebowski the Pasadena millionaire.
In hope of getting a replacement for his soiled carped Dude visits his wealthy namesake and, with buddy, ex `Nam` veteran, Walter (John Goodman), he is swept into a Coenesque comedy/thriller of extortion, embezzlement, sex and dope.
It takes guys as simple as the Dude and Walter to make a story this complicated... and they`d really rather be bowling.

Your Opinions and Comments
The disc lacks any features, but that is made up for by the great transfer and choice of 4:3 and 16:9.
Anway, the dvd is as poor as it could have been. Anamorpphic widescreen is all well and good, but the picture is poor - compression is very evident often and their is little clarity. Colours also look very unrealistic. The sound is fine however. Features on the disc... well, there are INTERACTIVE MENUS, and DIRECT SCENE ACCESS. Groundbreaking stuff. Next they`ll be boasting it has SYNCHRONISED AUDIO & VIDEO as an extra. Definitely in need of a re-release.
