Caddyshack (1980)

A timeless classic.

Still a classic after all these years. I remember watching this as I grew up. You can watch this over and over again and still laugh at the jokes. July 21, 2008

Caddyshack Review

Not as funny as I remember, but I still am a fan of Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase, and Bill Murray. The gopher joke is still hilarious, and I miss Rodney - not around to kick any more. July 17, 2008

Comedy On The Links

Caddyshack is a hilarious comedy about golfers at a country club. Chevy Chase, Ted Knight, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray lead the cast down the fairways of laughter and mayhem. With all of the one liners and mixture of different actors, Caddyshack will not disappoint. Some mild language and some nudity, would still recommend for mature audiences. One of my favorite Chevy Chase films along with Vacation. July 15, 2008

As the years go by, the perfection of his achievement only becomes more obvious

There haven't been many actors that gave a perfect performance in a film. Maybe just Brando in the Godfather, Eli Wallach in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Ted Knight, here, in Caddyshack.

As the years go by, the perfection of his achievement only becomes more obvious. If the Academy had any credibility at all, they would honor Ted Knight with a posthumous Academy Award for this performance. July 10, 2008

"Doody!"

I used to live at Rolling Hills Golf and Country Club where CADDYSHACK was filmed, and from my third floor apartment overlooking the eighteenth hole I got to hear every line of dialogue in this film repeated ad nauseam by wannabe Rodneys, Chevys, Teds and Bill Murrays. I also got to see careless golfers' carts tip over, dumping them into the lake, something that should have been in this film, but wasn't.

Frankly, I've never understood why CADDYSHACK rates so very high amongst comedies. The individual comedic performances are consistently very funny (and in Rodney Dangerfield's case, truly inspired), but this film always has struck me as LESS than the sum of its parts.

In CADDYSHACK I always feel as though I'm watching a dozen competing stand-up acts a la the cable show MAKE ME LAUGH. The various bits (such as the infamous pool scene) are individually hilarious. Unfortunately, none of it meshes comfortably into a cohesive whole, and I never find myself wholeheartedly enjoying this film.

And, considering it was an afterthought anyhow, I wish they'd lose the gopher entirely. Man, that shtick is just plain dumb. July 6, 2008
