Leave your thoughts about Caddyshack.
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterDoes it hold together as a quality comedy? No, not really. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashI know this movie is silly, but when the final credits roll and that little gopher is dancing to the opening bars of "I'm alright", you just can't help but smile. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonThis nearly plotless, angry class comedy is more a barrage of traded insults and slights than anything else, and it refreshingly recognizes that class has nothing to do with money or lack of it. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA funny slapstick comedy, starring Billy Murray in top form |
| EmpireClark CollisIt's not big and it's not clever, but it's very, very funny. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonGiven the short shelf life of many rude 'n' crude Hollywood comedies, it's amazing how well Caddyshack stands up after all these years. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumHas attained cult comedy status over last 25 years...due to Chase, Dangerfield, Murray set pieces. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenCaddyshack never finds a consistent comic note of its own, but it plays host to all sorts of approaches from its stars, who sometimes hardly seem to be occupying the same movie. |
| Time OutChris PeachmentIf you're still at the age when farting and nose-picking seem funny, then Caddyshack should knock you dead. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertDangerfield is funniest, though, when the movie just lets him talk. He's a Henny Youngman clone, filled with one-liners and insults, and he's great at the country club's dinner dance, abusing everyone and making rude noises. Surveying the crowd from the bar, he uses lines that he has, in fact, stolen directly from his nightclub routine ("This steak still has the mark of the jockey's whip on it"). With his bizarre wardrobe and trick golf bag, he's a throwback to the Groucho Marx and W.C. Fields school of insult comedy; he has a vitality that the movie's younger comedians can't match, and they suffer in comparison. |
