VHS Movie Reviews of Caddyshack - 19th Anniversary Edition [VHS]

Movie Review: Comedy Classic
Summary: 4 Stars

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.

Movie Review: great movie

Movie Review: The "Animal House" of golf!
Summary: 5 Stars

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!

Movie Review: Dated, But Still Funny
Summary: 3 Stars

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.

Summary of Caddyshack - 19th Anniversary Edition [VHS]

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. Chase's laid-back delivery has kept audiences of Saturday Night Live and movie hits National Lampoon's Vacation, Fletch and Spies Like Us in the aisles for years. Sharing his wisdom with a caddy or his bed with debutante Lacey Underall, he never misses a shot. Rodney Dangerfield is well, Rodney Dangerfield. Even when he's off camera, he's on. And fans that have made Easy Money and Back to School box-office hits like him just fine. Knight-possessor of the best slow burn since Laurel and Hardy fusses, fumes and finesses his way through his role as Bushwood Country Club's one-man Legion of Decency. Murray's hole-in-the-head assistant greenskeeper is straight out of Looney Tunes. Murray, who brought the house down in Meatballs, Stripes and Ghostbusters, is funny even when he talks to himself. In Caddyshack, the term "golf nut" takes on a deranged double meaning and the laughs are par for the course!

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
