Summary: Caddyshack..Above Par Film!
Review: CADDYSHACK picks up where ANIMAL HOUSE left off. The ultimate snobs vs slobs picture is a classic film featuring the best of Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase. In a written interview, it was stated that Rodney Dangerfield may have lost his putter but not his patter in this film, and that nails it right on the head. Some of the best scenes are Dangerfield's one-liners mostly said winking at the screen, but it works and only he could pull it off. Also, this is probably Chevy Chase's best screen comedy performance of his career. Everyone knows this movie about the hijinks at a posh golf country club from snobby members (mainly Ted Knight as Judge Smails), caddy's misadventures (hence the title), and the goings on of the groundskeeper Carl (played brilliantly by Bill Murry), and it has achieved a cult status where every line can be recited and quoted. A lot of funny characters running around in this film and great direction from Harold Ramis. Truly a great classic American comedy especially for people who hate golf.

Summary: Great comedy
Review: Caddyshack never won any awards. It is never on any "Best" lists. It is full of dumb plots, subplots, and bad editing. Yet I have to watch it every time I come across it. It is a timeless 80's comedy that revolves around the Bushwood Country Club and its members and caddies.The 'plot' centers around Danny Noonan, a school age caddy trying to escape his blue collar future and get into college. He focuses his efforts on winning a caddy scholarship and by [kissing] up to Judge Smails, a club bigwig played perfectly by the late great Ted Knight. Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Rodney Dangerfield round out the cast of comedy heavyweights. Director Harold Ramis mixes in a wide range of comedy styles, from the Mel Brooks-inspired sight gags to the classic Baby Ruth candy bar-in-a-pool scene. The characters and jokes are what make this comedy a classic. Forget the plot and just sit back and laugh.

Summary: I HATE movies about sport
Review: Tin Cup was bad enough. Two films about golf in this world, please don't let there be anymore. Golf has to be one of the most boring sports in the world. If you're a fan of Bill Murray (he's not too bad in my opinion, just a little OTT at times), then this is NOT the film for you. He's listed in the credits as "and" Bill Murray, which means he doesn't have that big a role in this movie. He was quite good in the bits he did appear in - two stars for him and the gopher! Which was so cute! You can obviously see it's a toy of some sort, but it's absolutely gorgeous, and one of the highlights of the movies. I loved the scenes where it was 'walking' along in his tunnels! If you like Chevy Chase, like other people I can think of (I don't - c'mon, he's cheesy!), then you'll love this film, although I didn't think it was a "Chevy Chase" movie, like the Vacation movies. He doesn't have that big a role either. The movie's filled with unknowns, playing golf. If this film had maybe had a bit more Bill Murray (and even Chevy Chase!) I probably would have liked it more. This is for all you weird people out there, who watch and own movies that others have never heard of! :)

Summary: Go fore it..
Review: CADDYSHACK is the best movie made about the sport of Golf. It stars Ted Knight as a snooty Judge, who's thrown for a loop when party animal Rodney Dangerfield, joins the same country club. The film is played strictly for fun and is filled with classic moments. Chevy Chase and Bill Murray offer up some of their best comedic stuff. Chase plays Ty webb, a free thinker playboy who teaches a young caddy, (Michael O'Keefe) the meaning of life. While Murray is Carl, the country club groundskeeper, who must keep all the "varmits" from making a mess of the course. Dangerfield is the perfect foil for Knight in the film Directed by Harrold Ramis. The movie plays in keeping with its contemporary brothers, ANIMAL HOUSE, and STRIPES The 20th Anniversary DVD has only one major extra. The retrospective documentary "The 19th Hole" is filled with lively recollections about the film from those who were there. The documentary contains some bloopers and outtakes that are as funny as the movie itself. The DVD also has the theatrical trailer a few production notes and that's all. While the extras may be minimal, this is still a good buy, and a very funny movie. Recommended

Summary: Hysterical
Review: Sporting superb comedic talent and the best darned sight gag in all of cinema, CADDYSHACK is roll-on-the-floor funny. Watching this classic is an event: it's an ice-down-the-beer-and-invite-your-buddies-over celebration. Forget the plot; simply sit back and let director Harold Ramis take you on a 90-minute knee-slapping ride. Chevy Chase, Ted Knight, and Bill Murray are exceptional, but crude and rude Rodney Dangerfield most effectively captains the CADDYSHACK boat. But let's give kudos to ALL of the characters--this was a great cast, from top to bottom. Two of my favorite minor characters included Spaulding (John F. Barmon Jr.), the whiny, nose-picking nephew of Judge Smails; and "The Bishop" (Henry Wilcoxen), who has quite the ontological ephiphany during a robust round of golf. CADDYSHACK has it all: the "snobs vs. slobs," beer, booze, crude pranks, one-liners, pratfalls, adolescent humor, great Kenny Loggins music--even a wacky gopher. Oh, and did I mention golf? Think I'll cancel today's round and call up some buddies.

Summary: Best Golf Movie...Ever
Review: While it's tough to put a golf movie ahead of Adam Sandler's great Happy Gilmore, no other golf movie has as many memorable lines in it as this one does. In fact, few other comedies have as many great lines as Caddyshack. Who can forget the conversation about playing with the Dali Llama or Bill Murray's monologue while "driving" the flowers? "It's in the hole!" One of the best scenes of the movie is where Chevy Chase drives the ball through Bill Murray's window, causing a great conversation between two comic greats of our time. Also, for anybody who has seen the new Tiger Woods' commercial where he's chasing the gopher and don't understand what in the world is going on- see this movie.

Summary: "50 Bucks Says You Slice It Into The Woods!"
Review: I believe CADDYSHACK will always be a sentimental favorite for anyone who saw it when it was released back in the summer of 1980. We were all still catching our breath from 1978's ANIMAL HOUSE and Hollywood was trying to make lightning strike again. John Landis and John Belushi went on to THE BLUES BROTHERS, also released in the summer of '80, but, as loud and as entertaining as it was, BLUES never delivered the laughs like the Deltas did two years before. Doug Kenney, the mastermind behind ANIMAL HOUSE, went on to write and produce CADDYSHACK but, according to an Esquire profile after his tragic death shortly after, he was pretty coked out by then. The studio bosses referred to it as "that coke movie down in Florida." Harold Ramis, directing his first film, admits that it like "film school" since he felt like he was learning as he went.
Despite all of this, CADDYSHACK was hilarious. I think the second half loses steam, most of Chevy Chase's scenes were flat, and the central character isn't very likable or all that funny--but Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray and Ted Knight more than make up for any criticisms. I'll never forget watching it the first time in a crowded theatre. Rodney burst onto the screen with such a comedic energy that you could hear everyone perking up when he'd show up. And I didn't hear anything but laughter for five mintues after he said, "What, did somebody step on a duck?"
How many comedies have offered so many quotable lines?
(Turn the subtitles on sometime and read what Bill Murray actually says during his "Dala Lama caddy" and "Cinderella story" speeches--all improvised, from what I hear!). re: "The 19th Hole" documentary: did they play the entire master shot of the Chevy Chase and Bill Murray scene because they DIDN'T get along or was there some other reason?
(It's pretty well documented that they disliked each other--and even got into a fistfight on SNL--before shooting CADDYSHACK).
