This is a great movie for any movie collector. It's a must have. Hilarious from start to finish.

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!

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.

The 20th anniversary edition Caddyshack is not full screen as advertised. I phoned Amazon to let them know this and they still have not updated their site.

I purchased this movie because I recently purchased the caddyshack game for my brother the golf nut. We were sitting around after he opened the game and couldn't remember that much about the movie so I found the movie on line. It's a real classic funny movie which shows you don't need sex and bad language to be funny. I also bought a copy for myself so I can refresh my mind before we play the game. Thanks a lot for carrying old movies.
