It's not laugh-out-loud funny, at least not entirely, but it's an interesting case of a very cerebral comedy which is not at all pretentious about it. I thought "good not great" when i first watched it, but liked it enough to get it on DVD and watched it a second time, then a third. There's a lot going on under the hood and you get to see, like other Coen Brothers' works, that it's quite a complex beast.

I was a fan of their work back from Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? however (yes, i know Big Lebowski came first, but i've been watching Oh Brother for about a decade and only saw Lebowski last summer), so i like the way they put their more subdued style together.

Only part that really drags is the Gutterballs sequence.

Fight scene at the end is great, though.
