I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
A lot of fun.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Sorry, I've watched this at least 3 times over the years, and still believe it's one of the most overrated movies ever. The plot lines are stupid and unrelated. I realize it's supposed to be a comedy, but the characters are less realistic than cartoons. It's like they hired funny people and just told them to improvise.
The 1980s saw some okay music, the advent of computers into the home was really taking off, and the science fiction genre (riding off the coat tails of Star Wars) was really making a comeback in feature films.But not everything from the 80s is golden, as I mentioned in some previous reviews. And Caddyshack is one of them.Simply put I don't get this film. I really don't. Bill Murry has a kind of Ahab-like obsession with a rodent chewing up his workplace home turf, and there's some thing about a gold contest and an examination of snobbery. Bill Murry acting like a drugged out gardener is not funny. It simply is not funny. I don't know why people (mostly men) heap praises on it, but it is not funny in the least. Or, rather it could be but you would have had to have shaved off several IQ points from your personal intelligence quotient.And I can't make it any plainer than that.This is one of those few rare occasions where the sequel is funnier, and given that this film is worthy of a smirk or two at best, that's not high praise.If you like idiotic humor, then maybe check out this film, but don't say I didn't warn you.Watch at your peril.
This is 98 minutes of your life you'll never ever get back. Utterly awful. How people consider this one of the greatest comedies ever completely escapes me. Murray and Chase are bit part roles and Dangerfield is just a parody of himself. With the exception of the gopher, the entire cast is actually the biggest joke and the script and so-called gags are just intergalactically unfunny. My advice to anyone wanting a good laugh at a classy comedy movie is just sit down with a box set of Laurel & Hardy and watch how it should be done and not waste any time with this disaster.
You mention "Caddyshack" and you're talking about one of the great '80s comedies. Its humor ranging from sexy to scatological, this is some finely-tuned lowbrow material. And it just works. What's funny is that this is supposed to be Michael O'Keefe's story, but the movie's hijacked by the comic veterans (Chase, Dangerfield and Murray). The real brilliance of this movie is seeing the ad-lib ripcord being pulled on Bill Murray and watching him go. That stuff about the Dalai Lama is gold! The cake's icing is the lovely (and nude) Cindy Williams, not to mention the gopher. Between the one-liner factory, bawdy humor and a Kenny Loggins pop song, it's a recipe for success.8/10
