A psychotic dream? An allegory of the universal struggle against nihilism? A family saga? Al three at once? Some do not get it - "too wacky". Poor souls, lost in an universe where failing laundry-ownerscan't be heroes. But hey, this is 21st century reality. Even Parliament can be stormed. So is it strange that Michelle Yao is a superhero and Jamie Lee Curtis is a villain? That parallel universes and the bagel of doom exist? If you appreciate the Big Lebowski, go. If you are the 'Go Superman-type, don't.
If you have no sense of the absurd, don't go. But if you do, see it. Especially if you are the type like me that watches The Big Lebowski over and over again because you enjoy madness with a message. And so what the message-heavy ending. As The Dude said: aggression will not stand, and if we ever needed reminders of that, it is now. Plus: enjoy references to everything ever made, from In The Mood For Love to Edward Scissorhands and Karate Kid to Ratatouille, beating Tarantien at his own game.
