Editorial Reviews:

The ultimate fan?s guide to the Coen Brothers? cult classic, with an introduction by the Dude himself, Jeff Bridges.
 
To some The Big Lebowski is just a movie, to others it?s THE MOVIE. Over the past several years the movie has developed a massive and passionate cult following, led by the creation of Lebowski Fest, a traveling festival celebrating all things Lebowski. Held in a bowling alley, it features bowling, costume and trivia contests, live music, a screening of the movie, White Russians, and what-have-you. Attendance has grown exponentially and the Fest has been featured in virtually every national media outlet, from NPR to the New York Times. The Associated Press called it ?kind of a ?Star Trek? convention, but without all the geeks.? SPIN Magazine called it one of the ?19 events you can?t miss!? Now, at last, comes the book that the legion of Lebowski fans (aka Achievers) has been waiting for. I?m a Lebowski, You?re a Lebowski is a treasure trove of trivia and commentary, hilarious throughout and illustrated with photos from the film, including dozens taken on the set by Jeff Bridges. It includes interviews with virtually every major and minor cast member including John Goodman, Julianne Moore and John Turturro, as well as the real-life individuals who served as inspiration for the characters such as Jeff Dowd and John Milius. Fellow Achievers Patton Oswalt, Tony Hawk and Powerpuff Girls creator Craig McCracken give their thoughts on the movie and the phenomenon that surrounds it. The book features a handy guide to speaking Achiever, tips on how to Dude-ify your car, office, and living space, Lebowski Fest highlights and so much more.

5 out of 5 stars I love Lebowski

While searching for 'Lebowski' gift ideas, I found this book. I decided to give it to my fellow 'Big Lebowski' fan friend for Christmas. She loved it! It's a hilarious book about the movie, the characters and other wacky things. I highly recommend this for anyone who is a 'Lebowski' fan, and who can appreciate humorous books!

3 out of 5 stars LEBOWSKI: 100% HAPPENING POLISH-AMERICAN DUDESKI!: LEBOWSKI is LAID BACK, BUT SOLID INTEGRITY - MOVIE SOLIDSKI, BOOK...OKAYSKI

The movie about the Polish-American Dudester is a classic. However, this book is... OK, but does give your bookshelf a very cool look and feel. The dudeski, who likes the brewski, deserves more. Lebowski is a laid back partyesque guy, but Lebowski is "the" dude with a lot of integrity, decency and morals, as all Lebowski followers know. Lebowski is the guy you would want next to you on the battlefield - you can depend om the dudester. 100%ski!

4 out of 5 stars Great Book

The only thing missing was the fact the The Dude claimed to be a roadie for Metallica on the Speed of Sound Tour and the band actually didn't do an album tour for the album.

Enjoy a few caucasians, put on your favorite robe, jelly shoes and your favorite bowling album after watching the movie a couple dozen times and any true fan will enjoy the book as much as the movie.

Duder Out

4 out of 5 stars Enjoyed it

Is this your homework, Larry? Is this your homework, Larry?

Full of hilarious stories about how the Coen Brothers came up with the idea for the movie. The book is not something I would recommend for anyone who's not already a huge fan of the movie. Watch the movie about 15 times, then buy this book.

2 out of 5 stars Not quite what I hoped

I was SO looking forward to this book when I ordered it. However, it's more of a novelty book with lots of filler (quizzes etc.). Some of the interviews are interesting. If you're a Big Lebowski fan, and you can find this book used, buy it! However, do NOT pay full price.
