Movie Reviews of Caddyshack 2
Movie Review: CaddyshackFan
Summary: 1 Stars
Why would the exploding golf ball blow up when it apparently hits the melon and when it is struck by a putter, but not when it is hit by a titanium driver? Why would a gopher want to have sex with a poodle? You'll be asking yourself questions like these and will curse losing 99 minutes you can never get back if you watch this total waste of a movie. Worst...Movie...Ever.Movie Review: Only if you're a collector and want to finish your Caddyshack series!
Summary: 1 Stars
Seriously, I hadn't seen this movie for quite some time until a month ago. I bought it, thinking that it would be as funny as I remembered it 10 years ago. I was wrong. Everything falls short in this movie, except for Randy Quaid, who's a scene stealer. I'd only recommend this one for those people who collect movies and want to finish off their Caddyshack collection.Movie Review: NOT "ON PAR" WITH THE ORIGINAL! NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Summary: 2 Stars
I remember the first time I saw this uneven and mostly unfunny sequel to the classic original. I felt violated and wanted redemption for the injustice that was bestrode upon me! I must admit that I have mellowed over the years on this movie and I feel it does have a few moments. Randy Quaid is by far the best thing in this movie and his negotiation scene about the(The Peter Blunt System)zoning laws is hysterical. Jackie Mason is no Dangerfield,but he does have a few moments. This is not essential viewing by any means, but if you have seen the original as many times as I have, you may be able to find some redeeming moments in this luke warm sequel.Movie Review: You know you're in trouble when....
Summary: 1 Stars
...Chevy Chase is the ONLY person from the original CADDYSHACK to come back. If you told him that NOTHING BUT TROUBLE 2 was to begin shooting tomorrow, he'd be setting his alarm and warming up his mugging in the mirror before hitting the sack.
The script for CADDYSHACK 2 was so horrible that Rodney Dangerfield refused to do it. I remember reading at the time that the studio was finally exercizing a clause in Rodney's original contract that stipulated that he appear in the sequel since the first film made a lot of money and, rather than appear in this wretched sequel, he opted to fight it out in court.
(Even the original cast of ROMANCING THE STONE collectively couldn't fight their way out of their stinking follow-up, THE JEWEL OF THE NILE--and even danced in the music video!).
But Rodney prevailed. Take away Rodney, Bill Murray (who sounds like he literally improvised his entire role the first time around), and the late Ted Knight, and all you've got is the gopher. The gopher, a good Kenny Loggins song (wasted), and a lot of mindless schtick that wouldn't have made it through the first writers' meeting for "The Carol Burnett Show."
Robert Stack has too much class and testosterone to be a stuffy snob. Dan Aykroyd humiliates himself and gives Chevy Chase a run for the I'll-Do-Anything-For-A-Buck award. And Jackie Mason...has this guy ever been funny? I laughed at his Ed Sullivan impersonation in 1975 or so...but what's he done?
CADDYSHACK played like a haphazard but hilarious comedy by young upstarts storming Hollywood.
CADDYSHACK 2 plays like grandma and grandpa would like to take a whack at this funny flickers business as well.
Ugh.
Movie Review: Blah, Blah....All the negative reviews are exactly the same
Summary: 4 Stars
And all the negative reviews are just a carbon copy of what the critics all had to say about his movie....My point is, why listen to a bunch of sheep that prolly never even watched this movie? Why listen to people that can't form their own opinions...
I vividly remember watching this movie as young,young kid (prolly too immature for their content) with my older brother and his friends and laughing hysterically....And over the years, I still find this to be one of the great comedies...
Is it as good as the original Caddyshack? No....But it's still a great comedy on its own....Yeah, its a bit raunchy and little cliche'd , but you can't deny some of the outrageously funny scenes...Dan Akroyd's performance as a former Vienam Vet is unforgettable.And so was Randy Quaid as the wacky and eccentric lawyer..Again, Chevy Chase comes through as well...Robert Stack plays the wealthy and very stuffy Chandler and plays to role to a tee....They younger characters are brilliant as well in this film...But the real star of the film is 'Jack Hartoonian' (Jackie Gleason) who's flamboyant, outgoing personality provides the perfect anthesis to the stuffy atmosphere at Bushwood Country Club....
Its been well over 15 years since its release and I still find this movie hilarious....I would normally give it 5 stars, but since it doesn't quite measure up to its origianl, I'll give it a 4....
