 Caddyshack Review July 17, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not as funny as I remember, but I still am a fan of Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase, and Bill Murray. The gopher joke is still hilarious, and I miss Rodney - not around to kick any more.
 Comedy On The Links July 15, 2008
Caddyshack is a hilarious comedy about golfers at a country club. Chevy Chase, Ted Knight, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray lead the cast down the fairways of laughter and mayhem. With all of the one liners and mixture of different actors, Caddyshack will not disappoint. Some mild language and some nudity, would still recommend for mature audiences. One of my favorite Chevy Chase films along with Vacation.
As the years go by, the perfection of his achievement only becomes more obvious July 10, 2008
There haven't been many actors that gave a perfect performance in a film. Maybe just Brando in the Godfather, Eli Wallach in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Ted Knight, here, in Caddyshack.
As the years go by, the perfection of his achievement only becomes more obvious. If the Academy had any credibility at all, they would honor Ted Knight with a posthumous Academy Award for this performance.
 "Doody!" July 6, 2008

I used to live at Rolling Hills Golf and Country Club where CADDYSHACK was filmed, and from my third floor apartment overlooking the eighteenth hole I got to hear every line of dialogue in this film repeated ad nauseam by wannabe Rodneys, Chevys, Teds and Bill Murrays. I also got to see careless golfers' carts tip over, dumping them into the lake, something that should have been in this film, but wasn't.
Frankly, I've never understood why CADDYSHACK rates so very high amongst comedies. The individual comedic performances are consistently very funny (and in Rodney Dangerfield's case, truly inspired), but this film always has struck me as LESS than the sum of its parts.
In CADDYSHACK I always feel as though I'm watching a dozen competing stand-up acts a la the cable show MAKE ME LAUGH. The various bits (such as the infamous pool scene) are individually hilarious. Unfortunately, none of it meshes comfortably into a cohesive whole, and I never find myself wholeheartedly enjoying this film.
And, considering it was an afterthought anyhow, I wish they'd lose the gopher entirely. Man, that shtick is just plain dumb.
classic comedy June 26, 2008
I was shocked that this wasn't in our VHS library, so I bought the DVD.
There's a lot going on at the exclusive Bushwood Country Club. Caddy Danny Noonan is hoping for the caddy scholarship, and his best bet is to kiss up to Judge Smails (Ted Knight). Judge Smails meets his nemesis in the uncouth Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield), who's thinking of buying the club. Ty Webb (Chevy Chase) is a rich playboy who refuses to take anything seriously and is full of skewed advice for Danny, who he takes under his wing.
And then there's Carl Spackler (Bill Murray), the assistant groundskeeper who's tasked with killing the golfers... er... gophers.
This is such a classic comedy. I was surprised at how long it had been since I'd seen it, because so many of the scenes remained so vivid--the Baby Ruth bar in the pool, "see the ball, be the ball," the multiple attacks on the gophers.
I was about to say that this was a comedy without a message, but I realized it's not, really--it's about pretension. You end up rooting for the characters without it--Ty, Danny, and even Carl and Al--and sneering at the pretentious caddies and Judge Smails.
One thing I didn't really remember from watching this before: Chevy Chase was surprisingly hot. Or maybe I'm just drawn to quirkiness.
Anyway, fun stuff.
