kelly c This is a decent film but it's not the film that was marketed. I suspect it may have been Turturro's way of finally getting funding for his passion project. However, it ultimately undermines the film. As marketing it draws an audience that, even if they'd otherwise be potentially receptive, are expecting something almost entirely different. -- The film watched like a 90s French film. Obviously, learning that it's a remake of a 1970s French film and that Turturro pursued making it for as long as he did, this makes sense. However, it's not a Coen Brothers style film or a one that often finds a larger audience in the US. -- The scenes which make reference to bowling or try to connect it to Jesus as a character within The Big Lebowski are sloppily inserted and feel out-of-place. None of them have any baring at all on the plot. The longest of these scenes seems like it was simply an excuse to shoot promo photos and for Turturro to recreate the character's signature move of licking the ball. Overall, the film misses the mark not on the merits of the main plot or characters but this single aspect. They could have easily been left on the cutting room floor, the film marketed for what it was and received a significantly different reception. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Bret H Only thing that I can say about this movie is that it's a piece of crap.Wasted hour and half of time that I wish I could get back.Why would producers even invest in a film like this? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Steven K Don't be fooled, nothing feels like Lebowski. Not an awful movie, but you won't be quoting it. They used sex to keep you watching. Not much else. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Greg G It was kind of all over the place, very odd. But it has charm, in a fucked up way. No idea what was happening at any given time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review D E I wanted to like it but it was just so bad. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review John A John Turturro, Bobby Cannavale, Christopher Walken for 15 seconds (he was smart). Audrey Tautou and a cast of others you will recognize in this Completely forgettable Stink Bomb! So much potential with this wacky character John Turturro created, what happened? Worst written waste of time I have seen in recent times. Terrible simply isn't enough. .005 out of 100.👎💩 Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
