Boring - can't watch it past about 30 minutes

Rating: 2/10 (20 September 2013)

To be honest, I can't remember the last time I saw a good American comedy. Especially as an adult, it takes more than silly teenage "humour" for a film to make me laugh (or even just smile). Generally I prefer politically incorrect movies and themes, so I did a search for such. For some weird reason, this movie came up on a few lists.
No idea why. Unfortunately stupidity and childishness are neither illegal nor politically incorrect anywhere in the world, especially not in America. Certainly back in the 70's and 80's when American cinema was a good reflection of their isolated, insular society. Not much unique or smart came out of Hollywood in those times.
This stuff is as unfunny as Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell. Quality comedy requires important topics and relateable characters first and foremost. The best comedy makes you cry and laugh at the same time. The most obvious example is Chaplin's works.
Caddyshack evokes no emotions at all, no tears, no laughter, not even a chuckle. I may have enjoyed it as a 12 year-old.
