Movie Reviews of Caddyshack
Movie Review: Overpraised: Classic comedy performances, OK movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Caddyshack kicked off the 80s and the comedy careers of Chase, Murray and Dangerfield. Its a beloved film for the frathouse type, golf fans and lowbrow comedy fans in general.
The comedy is excellent. You won't see more clever penis jokes (especially from Murray's character) or tasteful vomit jokes in any other 80s film. But nothing is genius here besides the improvised one-liners. Also, the abundant non-comedy moments are too badly written and almost have you nodding off. Everytime Michael O'Keefe appears on screen you really stop caring about the movie. And he's the main character! All of the caddies' lines are so unfunny. Thankfully, the producers made Harold Ramis add more Murray, Chase and Dangerfield. Ted Knight is the perfect straight man, but he could've been so much funnier here.
Another reason this film is loved and overpraised is it being a great time capsule. Teens smoking pot on screen, unfocused plot, stupid sexism. These things make it a "Casablanca" among 80s gross-out comedies, but not one of the greatest comedies ever.
If you've never seen the film before, its a must-see. Not a must-own. Comedy purists have to have it for the brilliant SNL-inspired lunacy. But after repeated viewings, you'll just want to skip to the one-liners.
Summary of Caddyshack
The greenskeeper is about to start World War III - against a gopher. The judge plays to win but his nubile niece has her mind set on scoring her own way. The playboy shoots perfect golf by pretending he is the ball. And the country club loudmouth just doubled a $20,000 bet on a 10-foot putt. Insanity? No. Caddyshack. Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight and Bill Murray tee off for a side-splitting round of fairway foolishness that does for golf what Animal House did for college fraternities and Police Academy did for law enforcement.A no-brainer that has become a low-brow classic, this 1980 comedy makes anarchy the rule of the day, unleashing the antics of Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, and Chevy Chase. Caddyshack is about the scheme of a vulgar land developer (Dangerfield) who wants to build condominiums on the site of a ritzy country club. Director Harold Ramis (who later reunited with Murray to make Groundhog Day) is content to let the comedy follow a variety of wacky detours, most notably Murray's maniacal war with a gopher that has been digging up the golf course. Dangerfield ultimately steals the show, firing off a battery of one-liners, insults, and tasteless gags. Caddyshack is the kind of movie some people have been known to watch several times a year, reciting every line of dialogue like the followers of a bizarre comedic ritual. --Jeff Shannon
