There was no way this was going to be anything but bizarre and that's exactly what it is. Turturro directs this spin-off that has very little to do tonally with The Big Lebowski except for the titular character, and is instead a remake of a French sexploitation classic called Going Places. I'm well aware that I'm going to be in the minority here but even if the film is not traditionally good, I like it for two reasons: a) it never tries to channel The Big Lebowski aside from making obvious verbal references and b) it's freewheeling fun between good actors and that makes for an enjoyable, if disjointed viewing.
