Movie Reviews of Caddyshack 2
Movie Review: A sequel that still generates at least SOME interest....
Summary: 3 Stars
One of the most interesting things is that this 1988 film is highly touted as an "in-name only" sequel. There's nothing wrong with that except this: The return of Chevy Chase as Ty Webb. This connects the viewer to this character (from the original Caddyshack in 1980,) and makes fans thinking or wanting Caddyshack II to be similar to the first one. There are rumors that Rodney Dangerfield was supposed to return. Too bad he didn't. He carried a big part of the first film, so his return would have put Caddyshack 2 over the top. Jackie Mason is the "new" Rodney for part II and does a decent job, even though their comic deliveries are way different. Dan Aykroyd was great but not in the film enough. He should have been involved to the tune of how much screen time Bill Murray got in the first one. Robert Stack (Airplane!) was good in the "new" Ted Knight/Villian role. (We miss you, Ted Knight. Thanks for the laughs.)
Danny Noonan should have been back. So many others could have returned to show us what happened to their characters eight years later. Bushwood should not have undergone the total makeover it did. Instead, the characters involved should have been the main focus like they were in the first one.
When you watch this film, keep the mindset that it isn't a true sequel and you may think it's another good or bad eighties comedy. Fans of the first should see it but don't be shocked when the comparisons between the original and Part II are so far apart.
Movie Review: Better than Caddyshack 1!
Summary: 4 Stars
Why? Caddyshack 1, although emmesly hilaruios, didn't hold much of a storyline. They just jumped right in! If Danny died I wouldn't have cared. But here's the thing. It grows on you. You start noticing things.In Caddyshack 2 Jackie Mason was a improved Rodney Dangerfeild.
Movie Review: A Tour de Force
Summary: 5 Stars
This was such a surprise! Who would have thought Jackie Mason was such a force. Chevy Chase and Rodney Dangerfield;Phew!Jackie is the man! Why there wasn't a Caddyshack III is beyond me. Jackie"Can you hear me" DO MORE MOVIES!I'm leaving my computer right now and going back to my TV and watch "CADDYSHACK II" one more time.
Movie Review: The Shack is Back on DVD.
Summary: 4 Stars
Jack Hartounian (Jackie Mason) is a self-made millionaire facing trouble from a historical society when he's about to tear down a rickety old building. His daughter Kate (Jessica Lundy) wants to be like the other rich people and join a country lcub, and Jack agrees only because he wants to make her happy. When he faces extreme predjudice from the snobbish members, the leader of whom is Chandler Young (Robert Stack), he fights back by buying the club and turning it into a mini golf course. While he gets help from the zen playboy Ty Webb (Chevy Chase) and homicidal lawyer Peter Blunt (Randy Quaid), Chandler gets help from bumbling surviellance expert Capt. Tom Everett (Dan Aykroyd). Who will win out? Plus, the gopher has a bigger role!This sequel is considered to be the worst movie of all time. Save that honor for Manos, The Hands of Fate (1966), this is the sequel that blows other sequels (except for the Back to The Future Trilogy) out of the water. The major and secondary actors give wonderful performances, especially Randy Quaid, who must be seen to be believed. The writing is more family oriented, with the PG rating, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The direction is good. The disc is presented in full-frame with moderate grain, but overall is good. The audio is in Dolby 2.0 Surround, and is great sounding. There are no extras, knocking down a star. Where is the Special Edition?

Movie Review: Good lord...
Summary: 1 Stars
I thankfully did not waste my money on this awful sequel(possibly the worst sequel to a good movie). I saw it on Comedy Central. I mourn every day for those of you who either bought, rented, or traded something else in for this waste of resources. Nothing beats Caddyshack 1, but they could have at least made a decent attempt to in Caddyshack 2.
