What Parents Need to Know
About The Big Lebowski
Parents need to know that this movie is inappropriate for kids. The Dude is subject to a lot of violence. One group threatens to cut off his penis, while another threatens him by shoving his face in the toilet. A Malibu police chief hits him with a coffee cup. A woman's toe gets cut off (though not on screen), Walter wields a gun more than once, and Walter, the Dude, and Donny get in a fight with a group of nihilists. Women are most often treated as objects and there's some frontal female nudity. The Dude drinks and smokes pot while driving, and while doing everything else. There's lots of profanity as well.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the Dude's lifestyle. Is that something you aspire to? How would you handle a situation of mistaken identity? Would you listen to your friends the way the Dude listens to Walter?

A cohens, cussin' classic!
A classic cohen brothers, very strong, frequent language if you check any content guide you will see that the film has over 250+ F-bombs, which I don't mind, language is language just the same to me there is no difference between dam n, hel l or the F-bomb (which I can't print on this website)

Jeff Bridges and John Goodman give the performance of a life time and this was big time snubbed. This cult is an american classic!

hilarious adult comedy!!
this was a great movie. It had pretty much constant swearing and some violence also some nudity and sex. Still very funny. If your my age watch it with an adult, maybe your dad like I did.

absolutely HILARIOUS!
This movie is a one of a kind. I thought it was great, really funny, and a really great plot. There's a lot of cursing in the movie (mostly the F-word), The Dude smokes pot, and drinks a lot. And the Dude may not be someone you want your little ones immitating. they also may have a hard time following the storyline . Great movie, for about 12-13 and up.

I laughed my head of at the Ferret part!
Now this is a funny movie, but a bit edgy, so watch out for your kids parents.
