Movie Reviews of Caddyshack 2
Movie Review: A Horrible Mess or Underrated Gem? Trust me - it's a mess!
Summary: 1 Stars
Is this a decent movie that gets unfairly judged due to the popularity of the original? Not at all. If it were not a sequel, it would simply have faded away as an awful 80s slapstick comedy with a few easily amused fans. But since it is a sequel to the well-liked "Caddyshack", it goes down in history as one of the biggest let-downs Hollywood has ever turned out. Honestly, it plays like a childrens movie with a few adult jokes and some bad language (and of course a subplot involving a planned murder) - the story is cliche and predictable, the jokes are embarrassing and badly timed, there are cartoonish SOUND EFFECTS sprinkled throughout, and the final frames involve a gopher puppet hitting on a poodle. And of course you have Jackie Mason doing a Rodney Dangerfield impression through the whole thing and Dan Ackaroyd talking like his lungs are closing up (which is supposed to be funny?). Honestly, it's one of those movies where you can't believe most of this stuff got past scriptwriters, actors, crew members, editors, and studio executives without anyone being too repulsed to let it continue. Actually, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinnison passed on it because it seemed horrible to them - unfortunately the film studio didn't. A horrible sequel and awful movie in general - only for people who will laugh at anything labeled 'comedy'.Movie Review: To put it bluntly....

True, we are all trying to see if it measures up to the greatness of the original. However, without the original and just looking at it as a comedy movie IT SUCKS!!Jackie Mason's jokes are forced, Chevy Chase stopped being funny a long time ago and Dan Akroyd has more class.
Movie Review: A disgrace!

This is a profoundly unfunny movie, and it is particularly offensive because it sullies the name of one of the greatest movies of all time, the original Caddyshack. The Dan Ackroyd character is an especially bad imitation of the classic Bill Murray character, Carl Spackler. Even the mechanical gopher, who was so endearing in the original, is ruined in this miserable sequel. It is too bad that anyone having something to do with the original movie lent his or her name or talent to this dreck. This one belongs on the short list of the worst movies ever made.Movie Review: Rodney , where are you when we need ya

Caddyshack II is one of those sequals that would have been an ok movie had it been made under a seperate title . although after watching it through the years , i find it's nt as bad as reviewed, still cannot hold a candle to the original. Here's some brief history on this film. Originally it was to have starred Rodney Dangerfield, Sam Kininson, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray. after dangerfield read the script he and Kinison offered to do some rewrites and were refused. Thus leaving the production altogether. Murray for whatever hos reasons were chose not to appear in the film at all, Chase became the only returning cast member of the original (albiet only in a cameo role ) but he does remind one of how good the original was. So the producers chose the following replacements ; Jackie Mason 9 The Rodney Dangerfield Role) self made millionaire Rich Slob, Randy Quaid ( The role of mason's lawyer originally inteneded for Sam Kinison) and Dan Ackroyed ( The Bill Murray role ) all three do actually play differant characters than of those in the original , and i have to admit that Mason and Quaid are both quiet likable and good in their roles. The plot is the same as before with a rich snob trying to join Bushwwod CC. Robert Stack is the villian of the piece ( Ted Knight in the original ) Mr Knight has passed away prior to production. all in all not the worst sequal ever made , and Chases' brief apperances do liven things up a bit when he's on screen ( but not much ) but it certainly isn't the best. you be your own judge .Movie Review: What's another word for putrid?

Watching this movie it occurred to me that there is a gaping hole in our legal system. The fact that it is not a crime to steal money from people by capitalizing on the success of a classic movie by making a sequel that is nothing more than an unfunny regurgitation of the original. For a list of the people who should be ashamed of themselves for being involved in this movie, just watch the credits. I can only make two exceptions. It is impossible for me to be disappointed in Jackie Mason. He was blackballed from Hollywood for so long after the Ed Sullivan incident, that I don't begrudge him a payday. A question for the rest of the actors: aren't there any restaurants in your area that are in need of food servers? The other exception is Dan Akroyd. I had a violently physical reaction to his scenes, not unlike the stomach problems that lead to my appendix being removed. How he came up with the character he used for this movie is a bigger mystery than the whereabouts of D.B. Cooper. Maybe Robert Stack, who was in this fiasco, could suggest it as a future episode for Unsolved Mysteries.In summation, if you are considering spending 2 hours watching this movie, consider doing something more enjoyable, like getting an enema.
