Great comedy

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2000)

Caddyshack is definitely a great comedy, though its sequel is only mediocre. Ted Knight is at his best here, soundly better than Robert Stack of the second. Rodney Dangerfield is also hysterically funny here, with every line he says being awesome. Chevy Chase's character Ty Webb is funny, if not as much as the others but still a worthy performance. I'm surprised to see no one mentioned Henry Wilcoxon as the Bishop as a stand out. This is one of his last roles, yet all of his scenes are funny, especially his golf game of epic "biblical" proportions. His laugh is priceless and his eyebrows go with his character. Danny Noonan is the only boring element of the movie, but still better than the most exciting characters in other movies. The man who steals the show however is Bill Murray. Every line he says leaves you laughing for hours and his whole performance is amazing. If you enjoy good comedy, make it a point to see Caddyshack.
