big names, laugh after laugh

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2003)

Fun and funny movie. Blue collar rich guy Rodney Dangerfield joins the upper crust at the Bushwood County club, and the banter and ensuing adventures keep me laughing every time. Each big name was hired to do what they do best- dangerfield for his blatant, outrageous truth. Chevy Chase for the low key, clever, slightly offbeat humor. Ted Knight as the "Judge Smails" for the prim and proper self he just cant get over (starting with Mary Tyler Moore show, he played this part over & over... Too Close for Comfort TV show) and of course, Bill Murray is the lowly buffoon that means well, but always finds trouble. Great play between the characters... it must have been a fun movie to make. Love the boat christening scene - Great poetry! The pool scene! and the snipping between the characters builds to a dramatic ending... don't get up from the couch to make a sandwich near the ending, or you may miss the conclusion! (what ever happened to Danny the caddy after this movie??)
