over-rated and definitely doesn't age well...

Rating: 3/10 (25 April 2005)

I remember really liking this as a kid (then again, I also really liked the Dukes of Hazzard as a kid, too) but after watching it again recently, I discovered it really doesn't hold up.
It falls in the classic Hollywood genre of "dumb comedy" which I don't mean as a slam -- there's plenty of great dumb comedies that have been made over the years, and many of them are from this day and age (Dodgeball, Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, etc). But unlike today's dumb comedies, Caddyshack unfortunately has absolutely NO story and it's basically just a series of thrown-together vignettes that, by 1980 standards, were probably pretty funny, but if you compare the movie to today's dumb comedies, they don't measure up.
Yes, there are some funny moments, but there's just nothing that holds your interest for very long and there's definitely no storyline that runs from beginning to end. It just feels like they turned on the camera and let Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and the others do what they wanted to. Feels very slapdash.
