  Despite the fact that there was a lot of freedom for the film makers to do whatever they wanted to do in production it's still a hilarious comedy classic that's faster paced than even the likes of Airplane! and deserves its reputation for being quotable. The cast bring their extremely memorable characters to life fantasticallly and young Bill Murray is very fun to watch when he's trying to kill the golf course's gopher. Ultimately, Caddyshack is a hilarious classic comedy and one of the few slapstick movies that are so stupid that you actually manage to laugh with it.

  Way overrated by comedy fans in my opinion. I do love the scene of Bill Murray and Chevy Chase smoking pot though.

  What fool didn't laugh at this. Its the misadventures of idiots at a golf country club. Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfiekd, Bill Murray, and Ted Knight all make you laugh and are great comedians. These jokes are so ridiculously stupid, and you feel good for laughing at them… More
  What fool didn't laugh at this. Its the misadventures of idiots at a golf country club. Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfiekd, Bill Murray, and Ted Knight all make you laugh and are great comedians. These jokes are so ridiculously stupid, and you feel good for laughing at them because they are a smart kind of stupid. Caddyshack is a 80's classic, I love this film.

  Really fun 80's comedy classic. I can't list highlights because there are just too many...but if I had to, it would be the scene between Bill Murray and Chevy Chase. Not a particularly noteworthy part of the film (it was added as an afterthought and had nothing to do with… More
  Really fun 80's comedy classic. I can't list highlights because there are just too many...but if I had to, it would be the scene between Bill Murray and Chevy Chase. Not a particularly noteworthy part of the film (it was added as an afterthought and had nothing to do with the main plot), but it's the only time (that I'm aware of) that Bill and Chevy ever had a scene in a movie together. Apparently those two didn't get along at SNL, so they didn't movies together. Anyways, that off-subject, but I like breaking this one out on occasion for some good easy laughs. :D

  Just when you thought golf was the most boring sport on the face of the Earth, this movie makes it fun for everyone who loves comedy. It stars a bunch of funny guys, and the story is funny too. I really like this movie, it's a classic 80s comedy.

  Caddyshack is one of the funniest films of the 1980's. With a cast including some of the funniest comedians of the business, how can you go wrong? Caddyshack is definitely THE 80's comedy to watch. it's stupid and dimwitted. Thats what makes this film a must see and it's also what makes this film what it is. The humour is crude and vulgar. Hell, I guess you can it's over the top, and thats what you have here, Caddyshack is a well made crude comedy with plenty of laughs. This is a terrific film not to miss.

  Another great from the year I was born. "Caddyshack" is definitely a comedy classic of the ages. It teams up three of the best comedy actors of all time with Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray to make this one of the funnies movies ever made. It's a hilarious movie that centers around a golf course. Some of the funniest parts of the movie are when a candy bar gets dropped in a pool and everybody thinks it's something else and Bill Murray trying to get rid of a gopher that makes Flipper sounds during the whole movie. I can't stress how good of a comedy movie "Caddyshack" is, but trust me, if you like comedy movies with nonstop laughs all the way through, you need to get it. It's a true comedy classic in my book. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year I was born. Spectacular classic (the movie and the gopher, and the actors) of the early 80's.

  This is one of those movies that has been on TV like a million times, but which I'd never before seen in its entirety, save for a few minutes here and there. Perhaps the reason for that is because it never really seemed like anything special to me. And lo and behold, my senses of perception were right on the money. Because that's exactly what this movie was: an average and uneven product of Hollywood's comedy factory. Even Bill Murray, who is usually so energetic and confident, gives a pretty lackluster performance. Not that he sucks or anything, but you can tell it's a very early role for him, as he has a look on his face that bares his inexperience. Altough falling short of greatness, however, it's a pretty amusing movie all-around. And you can't help but love the gimmick with the gopher.

  Sweet action, this movie is funny. On of the ultimate 80s classic comedies.

  Hilarious in every way imaginable. The different degrees of humour are supplied, thanks to the improvisational tactics of the cast. It's obvious that the as-libbed dialogue eats away at the story, but luckily it works out for the best. Murray and Chase have never been funnier and Dangerfield is a class act all the way. It's obvious to see the sketch/episodic styling of SNL at work but again this works out tremendously well. Similar to watching 3 (very good) stand up acts, joined by a simple but likable plot.

  This has it's funny moments and is totally over the top.

  One of the funniest films ever made, right up there with Airplane! and The Holy Grail. A great ensemble cast put a hilarious spin on a sport that has to be considered the most boring ever created.

  great comedy, one of the best sports movies of all time but a little overrated. bill murray was classic as always.

  Lines from beginning to end.

  It saddens that it took me so long to see this movie. I just never could get past all the hype until now. Murray in top form as always, and his costars are all in their prime.

  Still chukle when I watch this.

  Judge Smails: Ty, what did you shoot today? Ty Webb: Oh, Judge, I don't keep score. Judge Smails: Then how do you measure yourself with other golfers? Ty Webb: By height. This is a hilarious movie, revolving around a country club, featuring actors who are so obviously improvising in every scene, that you can't help but think they had a great time making this movie. The main plot, if any, revolves around a young caddy trying to earn money to get into college. To do this he attempts to suck up to the rich folk of the country club. Another thread revolves around the snobby club members vs. the laid back golfers. And the final thread involves Bill Murray as a wacky grounds keeper, attempting to kill a gopher. The four main adult actors are all hilarious. Chevy Chase is at his sarcastic best, as laid back golf pro Ty Webb, in a time when he was very very funny. Dr. Beeper: I thought you'd be the man to beat this year. Ty Webb: I guess you'll just have to keep beating yourself. Bill Murray, as mentioned, is the grounds keeper Carl. Carl Spackler: Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole! Ted Knight is the snobby, rich, big time, club member, who regularly cheats in the game. Judge Smails: Spaulding, get dressed you're playing golf. Spalding Smails: No I'm not grandpa I'm playing tennis. Judge Smails: You're playing golf and you're going to like it. Spalding Smails: What about my asthma? Judge Smails: I'll give you asthma. And then there is Rodney Dangerfield, who is absolutely hysterical as a rich man who only wants to have fun, is a complete slob, spouts out so many one-liners, and despite being hated by Judge Smails, is loved by everyone else. Al Czervik: Hey, doll. Could you scare up another round for our table over here? And tell the cook this is low grade dog food. I've had better food at the ballgame, you know? This steak still has marks from where the jockey was hitting it. This is a very funny movie, and possibly the best golf movie of all time. Ty Webb: Let me tell you a little story? I once knew a guy who could have been a great golfer, could have gone pro, all he needed was a little time and practice. Decided to go to college instead. Went for four years, did pretty well. At the end of his four years, his last semester he was kicked out... You know what for? He was night putting, just putting at night with the fifteen-year-old daughter of the Dean... You know who that guy was Danny? Danny Noonan: No. Ty Webb: Take one good guess. Danny Noonan: Bob Hope? Ty Webb: Ha ha... No, that guy was Mitch Comstein, my roommate. He was a good guy.
