Movie Reviews of Caddyshack 2
Movie Review: One of the worst movies in the history of mankind.
Summary: 1 Stars
It's quite possible that not reprising his role as Al Czervik was the most intelligent decision Rodney Dangerfield ever made (aside from marrying a hot chick 40 years his junior). This movie is to "funny" what hammered rhino-dung is to haute cuisine. I'm certain that, when actors, directors, and golfers go to hell, they are condemned to an eternity of watching Caddyshack 2 (while being fed hammered rhino-dung).Movie Review: This Film Is Actually Funny! Crazy, Huh?
Summary: 4 Stars
Most people already have their minds made up on this one, and it is easy to see why. After all, Caddyshack is not a film that needed a sequel. Why would you need one? Well, the 80s was a great time for unecessary sequels. It's hard to top the cast from the first film; I mean, it was full of funny characters. This one tries for that and only succeeds to a limited degree. As much as you may hate this film, how can you not laugh your behind off at Chevy Chase? He's hilarious in this film. IN fact, his performance is reason enough to watch this film. Well, he is playing Ty Webb who was hilarious in the first film. How did they talk Chase into doing this film? My theory(and I could be wrong) is that Chase didn't need a paycheck so bad as much as he probably loved playing Ty Webb. Jackie Mason is no Rodney Dangerfield, not in a million years. His presence is okay, but he's just not that funny. Randy Quaid is a little over the top, but he has some pretty hilarious lines. The whole "putting with a wedgie" thing is great. And Dan Aykroyd. Oh Lord, poor Dan Aykroyd. He should leave Caddyshack 2 off his resume. He's trying to replace Bill Murray's chracter from the first film, but fails miserably. We all know Dan can be funny, but wow. He may say one or two fairly funny things, but that's the extent. The rest of the time you'll have to deal with his fingernails on a chalkboard voice. The voice would be okay if he were funny. These are the comedians of the film, everyone else is there just coz some nonfunny people were needed. Robert Stack(if you have any information call 1-800-876-5353) is always a good actor and plays a stiff snob convincingly, but it's surely an unsolved mystery why he chose to do this film. Jonathan Silverman isn't here for laughs, but I've always liked him either way, even though his role here is throwaway. All in all, the gags here are all hit and miss, but there are some pretty heavy hits I must say(like when Chevy Chase introduces Jackie Mason to some country club members in the men's locker room. I can't get too descriptive, but it's hilarious). If you put it up against the first film, well then you're doomed because Caddyshack this is not. There are worse ways to spend your time......like the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre for instance.Movie Review: Not the worst movie of all time, as some would suggest...

but still pretty bad. As others have pointed out, Jackie Mason is the only reason to see this movie. The rest of the movie falls flat. Still worth sitting through once, just to enjoy Mason. His years of being blacklisted really deprived us.The other comment I wanted to make is that most people miss out on a great joke -- Jackie Mason's character in Caddyshack II is the same character he plays in The Jerk.
Movie Review: Just as funny as the first
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one funny movie. I do wish Chevy Chase had a bigger part in this. Other than that, my two favorite characters are Dan Akroyd and Randy Quaid. The golpher is funny in this too, and his little voice is cute. I got this movie by surprise. I went to my movie collection to watch a movie, when I saw this sitting in there. I didn't remember buying it, but I watched it anyway. My wife was the one who bought it for me. This movie does have a couple bad parts, but it's still got some funny parts. I never knew that a PG rated movie could have the F word in it. But then again i kinda knew, because in beetlejuice he says the F word and also in Vacation. Harold Ramis didn't direct this film (he directed the first one) but he wrote it, so he did have a part in the making of this movie. It's funny what happens to the golf coarse, it's turned into a theme park. Anyway, this is a movie that should be in your collection no matter what. THE SHACK, IS BACK.Movie Review: A Junker

I can't blame Mrs. Mikels. She didn't know.She didn't know what I knew, didn't hear what I heard: that this sequel to the delightful and deliciously wicked "Caddyshack" was one of Hollywood's all-time duds (and that's saying something). She only knew that I love the original, so when she came across CADDYSHACK II at the local video mart she snatched it up gleefully, thinking she had scored a comedic coup for her irresistible fuzzball hubby.
Sorry, honey. If this movie was on the food chain, it wouldn't even be edible for the bottom feeders. Weakly attempting to recreate the "snobs vs. slobs" confrontation that made its predecessor so successful, this film is an utter embarrassment from its opening frame (and from there, it gets worse). It's about as funny as a 500-word accountant's joke; as funny as an episode of South Park without profanity; as funny as "Girls Gone Wild" at a YMCA. This movie is so "unfunny" it's. . .not even funny.
Chevy Chase portrays his character like a guy caught hiding in the ladies' restroom; Jackie Mason never has been--nor ever will be--funny; Robert Stack looks like he was filming a laxative commercial; Randy Quaid acts like he used too much laxative. On the other hand, Dyan Cannon is hot, but that's just me. I did get a kick out of all the "big hair" from the Eighties. I got even more of a kick when I bounced this disc off the cathedral ceiling, against the far wall, and neatly into the waste basket (with a little backboard action). Even Mrs. Mikels applauded that.
