Rating: Summary: great cast. still very funny Review: classic comedy with numerous laugh out loud lines and situations. bill murray should have gotten an acadmey award for his portrayal of carl, the psychotic greenskeeper
Rating: Summary: It's just great... that's all.... Review: The above line refers to a Bill Murray outtake that had me wishing I had every frame of ad-libbed material that was shot for this film. Carl Spackler quoting Shakespeare? Who knew? I want to know what other gems were left on the cutting room floor. This is one of my favorite films of all time. The writing team was excellent (Doug Kenney ruled, if you can ever find some of his old National Lampoon stuff, grab it. I can hear his style in the Ty Webb character especially). Also the cast is one of those rarities in film where the casting was so perfect, it was like they were born to play those roles and I can't think of any other actors, past or present, that could've been better. Inspired and a hell of a lot of fun...
Rating: Summary: Sheer genius Review: Top 5 AL CZERVIK QUOTES:5 -- "I'll bet if you buy a hat like that you get a free bowl of soup" 4 -- "I should have yelled 'two'" (instead of 'fore') 3 -- "You want to make $14 the hard way?" (To Mrs. Elihu Smails). 2 -- "Let's go while we're young" (A classic). 1 -- "Tell the cook this is low grade dog food ... this steak still has marks where the jockey was hitting it." Every single time I hear these quotes, I double over in laughter. I have probably seen the movie 20 times, and I have not grown tired of it. The cast is top-notch and the direction is outstanding. A MUST SEE
Rating: Summary: There's a lot of bad in the world, Danny, including this DVD Review: It's easy to grin / when this video's in / and you've got a front-row seat. / But the DVD worthwhile / is the videophile's / WHICH HAS TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE 15-YEAR-OLD FRIGGIN' VHS VERSION!!! What a disappointment this DVD was, particularly since the 19th anniversary edition just came out on VHS (it was decent, but not great). There had better be a 20th anniversary DVD that expands upon the 19th anniversary tape. We need interviews with Spaulding, Porterhouse, Chuck Shick, Terry, Dr. Beeper, etc. And we need them NOW -- chop, chop! This DVD obviously was a rush job, as was the 19th anniversary tape, which included a few great out-takes (Carl yelling Salud! as he encourages Ty to cannon-ball it) but was otherwise disappointing (no interviews with Czervik, Carl, Spaulding, Porterhouse, Dr. Beeper and many other critical cast members). Shack fans demand better (there's been a lot of complaints already).
Rating: Summary: One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Review: This was one of the greats, Chevy Chase was great and I believe this was Bill Murray's best work. You'll watch it over and over again. I laughed until my sides hurt.
Rating: Summary: A VERY FUNNY MOVIE Review: THOUGH NOT A GREAT MOVIE,THIS FILM DOES HAVE IT'S MOMENTS. PERHAPS THE FUNNIEST SCENE IN THE FILM IS WHEN THAT CANDY BAR IS DROPPED INTO THE POOL AND EVERYBODY THINKS IT'S A TURD.
Rating: Summary: 5 star movie, 3 star extras Review: I couldn't wait for this anniv edition to come out.... Unfortunately, the extras were somewhat of a dissapointment. Some of the cast members (excluding Murry, Dangerfield, and 'Danny') were not interviewed. After the 33 minute segment was over, I was left with wanting to know a little more. I also wanted this version to include the missing scenes that were presented on the first tv telecast. All we get is about a minute worth. Some of the outakes were ok, but what is interesting is the scene with Murry & Chase. You could see how they improved the 'cannonball' shot. The outake is a bit lame and lacks the quick come-back dialogue which was part of the original. I was also pleased that they included the original theatrical trailer - BUT, they didn't include ANY of the extra camera shots & scenes in the film. After watching the trailer, any hard-core 'Caddyshack' fan can tell what shots and dialogue were cut from the film. This film deserves more than what this anniv edition gives us. It would have been great to 'letterbox' the transfer (which would have sharpened the look of the film). It also goes without saying that all the deleted footage should have been added. Maybe not to the original movie, but at least somewhere after the closing credits. You all know how witty and funny 'Caddyshack' is, so I won't go into the plot - other than to say that this is timeless comedy at its best ! It just deserves more from a 19th Anniversary Editon.
Rating: Summary: Is a better DVD version coming???? Review: This vesion is a rare direct video to DVD transfer, not much for one's money. Hopefully the 20th Anniversary release of video will also prompt an improvement in the DVD. There are loads of cut and lost scenes that could be added to a DVD that would improve this release greatly.
Rating: Summary: Excelent (That Gopher rocks) Review: The funniest film of it's time come back to become the funiest film of our time, you couldn't wish for a better film to be re-released.
Rating: Summary: Great Movie--Horrible DVD Review: It's hard to give my favorite comedy of all time only 3 stars, but it needs a two star penalty for the terrible picture, sound, and lack of widescreen format. The DVD looks just like the video. The trailer is funny, but obviously very dated.
