Slightly dated but good, not great comedy.

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2003)

Well, the second straight movie I've seen with Cindy Morgan, although here she brings a much more spicier performance unlike what she did in Tron.
Some people think Caddyshack is one of the best comedies ever made, others think it's highly over-rated. I'm in the middle; it's a good one, but not one of the best ever. It could have been a lot better, though.
Caddyshack is pretty much about the adventures of several people over at the Bushwood Golf And Country Club. The main character is Michael O'Keefe's Danny, a caddy at the club. His unreal week at the club is the setting for some really wacky characters.
The star of this movie is Rodney Dangerfield's Al Czervik whose pastiche of double entendres are hilarious. He delivers them non-stop. Ted Knight's Judge Smails is another great character, playing the straight laced chairman of Bushwood. He was a gas. Miss Morgan also delivers something nice for the males to see. There's also the gopher going around wreaking havoc on the golf course; what a cute, endearing little critter he is.
Sadly, the Video Movie Guide was right about Chevy Chase and Bill Murray being wasted. Chase is forced to play a bland, inanimate character that's stuck in a straight jacket. Murray is Carl Spackler, who spends most of the film trying to kill the gopher and sounds like he's the third McKenzie brother from SCTV (Harold Ramis, a SCTV alumni, probably made Murray's character as such, since he was a co-writer of the film). Still, they make the best of what they had.
All in all, this isn't bad and IT IS one the best sports movies ever made, but don't expect greatness. It's still worth a viewing on DVD and yes, the great lines, the hilarious bedroom scene featuring O'Keefe, Morgan and Knight, and the Kenny Loggins music helps.
