I can't believe the people who don't think this is a great movie.

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 1999)

I'm astonished at some of the mediocre response I've seen here. Caddyshack is the greatest comedy of all time. Every minute of the film contains a gem. Chevy Chase is perfect, the man I hope to be someday. While most people remember Murray and Dangerfield, they are the least hilarious of the actors.
If you happen to be one to knock this movie, you just don't get it, do you? Well, why don't you just watch Titanic a couple more times anyhow.
Subtlety is the reason this movie is not just a sophmoric piece of 80s recycling. There is the silliness if that's what you need, but to fully appreciate it, you need to absorb the artistry of every little comment. The quirkiness, the awkward dialogue, and the recurring snapshots of honesty make it work for viewers seeking something more than a two hour collection of jokes.
Following Danny, the straight man and lead character, you see how funny reality is for a poor white boy trying to be something more. We all see how pointless the high life is eventually, and can then feel better about not being a member of a country club.
I grew up on this movie, no less. Please love it.
