Like its predecessor, "Caddyshack" is crude, crass & sophomoric---but so fun, and funny, that you don't care. The film's cast is like one generation of comedic talent merged with another. Chevy Chase is at the peak of his sarcastic-irreverent self as Ty Webb, the golf club founder's sometimes flippant, sometimes murky son. Bill Murray plays Carl, the greenskeeper who's seemingly one shy a full deck. But it's Rodney Dangerfield who steals the movie as no-class contractor Al Czervik, who dresses in loud clothes, has a golf bag equipped with a beer tap, T.V., stereo & remote control for his drivers, and generally makes a nuisance of himself with sharp one-liners. And the late Ted Knight is the perfect comic foil/villain for Dangerfield's antics as Judge Smails, a snobbish, combustible member with much wealth & influence. The film's main plot has to do with Michael O'Keefe's down-on-his-luck caddy Danny trying to schmooze a caddy scholarship out of the abusive Smails. However, this is the impetus which draws all these characters into the plot which leads to a "big showdown/high stakes" golf game. But this is only half of the film as first-time director Harold Ramis & writers take pleasure in veering off on goofy subplots: Murray's "Cinderella story" golf game; a priest playing the best game of his life in the middle of a raging storm; Dangerfield disrupting the green with funny stories, rock music, and illegal betting; Chase & Murray's strange encounter when Chase's ball slices into Murray's shed/home; the rowdy "Caddy Day" pool scene; Chase's funny/inept romancing of Smail's niece, Lacey Underall (what a name!); and, of course, Murray's demented battle with the dancing gopher who's destroying the green.
