National Lampoon's Golf Punks

I was expecting it to be great, Tom Arnold, and National Lampoons....sounds great right? Too bad it wasnt :(

The movie has written on it "its the mighty ducks meets caddyshack" or somthing like that? But man, I think i chuckled once during the whole movie! it was completly predictable, not funny, useless things thrown in here and there, and just a plain awfull movie. Maybe a kid under the age of 10 might get somthing out of it? but I dont even know how this came to beeing bothered with to be put on DVD?

I'm collecting any movie with National Lampoon in the title. And really most of them are really stupid! But this movie I would however rate average. It's definately not one of my favorites, but it is funny, has a few drama moments and Tom Arnold is a pretty fair actor. It's a family movie and you don't have to worry about your kids watching a horrible movie. It teaches fairness, sportsmanship, and feeling good about yourself (even if you lose). I just got done watching this film with my kids and they are watching it AGAIN! I'm also not one to watch movies over and over, but I can say that I would watch this one at least twice a year. GREAT FAMILY SHOW.

i remember a time when i got excited when i saw a lampoon title. Now I dred it. It feels like they are recking there once great name with every new movie. This movie is pretty and it is only for die hard tom arnold fans. I feel that he can't hold a movie but that's another story. Well, it did entertain me for a little bit.

This film is no more than a preachy after-school special in lowest vein of family fluff as "Mighty Ducks," "Heavyweights," and countless others. While those at least pretend to be real movies, GP somehow manages to be worse in every aspect. Scene changes seem crafted for commercial breaks, the titular "punks" are a motley crew of misfits who (as tradition dictates) couldn't act their way out of a citcom parent trap, Arnold is dumbed down to play his "Stupids" character in earnest, and misguided attempts at slapstick would fail even if the film had any credibility. The soundtrack is the icing on the cake (left out in the rain). Basically, it consists of an alternation between a Casio keyboard demonstration and a slackjawed old guy repeating "we all end up in a hole," forcing an especially bad pun down the viewer's throat for the entire film. The self-respecting viewer will not last through the end.
