The Big Lebowski, a movie which paired the legendary Coen Brothers with Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, was considered a commercial flop when it was released in 1998. If that news is surprising to you, imagine how it felt for Bridges, who recently reflected on the movie’s underwhelming box office take. Bridges played Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski, the template for modern layabout characters, who is mistaken for a billionaire with the same name, and gathers his friends to help recover his stolen rug.
