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
Product Description
Comical goings on at an exclusive golf club. All the members are wealthy and eccentric, and all the staff are poor and slightly less eccentric. The main character is 'Danny'; he's a caddy who will do almost anything to raise money to go to college. There are many subplots, including the assistant green keeper's pursuit of a cute (obviously stuffed) gopher.

Comedy Classic October 3, 2009
M. KochKetola (Middletown, CT)
Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray do some of there best comidic work in this wacky film. The main plot is a little weak but that hardly matters when you have Bill Murray as a deranged groundskeeper trying to exterminate a Golpher, Chevy Chase as a strangely Zen golf pro and Rodney Dangerfield as a crass flamboyant nouveau riche real estate tycoon.

The "Animal House" of golf! September 3, 2009
Randy E. Halford (Boise, ID)
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.
Whether it's a physical comedy bit by Chase or a good one-liner by Dangerfield that you missed the first time around, "Caddyshack" is the type of comedy that you can watch again & still have a great time!
 Dated, But Still Funny August 16, 2009
Karen Joan (Texas)
I saw CADDYSHACK, oh, at least 200 times during my 4 undergraduate years. I was a "little sister" for the Evan's Scholars Fraternity, a national colligate fraternity for caddies. This newly released 1980's comedy was their anthem. Weekend parties centered around it. And, of course, there was drinking - lots of it. At the time, I thought CADDYSHACK was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen.
Last night, my husband and I watched CADDYSHACK for the first time in about 25 years. True, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, and Chevy Chase all turn in outstanding, zany comic performances. There are many scenes that have become classics, and many jokes that still elicit a loud chuckle and the occasional guffaw. But all these years later, the humor struck us both as juvenile and crude, the plot as mindless, and the sex as, well, gratuitous and tasteless.
Clearly, CADDYSHACK is a cult flick that has not aged well for the general audience. I don't think I will be watching this one again anytime soon. I prefer my memories of it from my college years, and not from last night's viewing.
