chevy is always chase

Rating: 6/10 (20 July 2003)

I took my bike to the video store. after a while i decided between "deconstructing harry" and "caddyshack" (kirstie alley vs. chevy chase). i chose chevy chase because (i think) he's one of my favorite comedians and because kirstie alley is the opposite (although i didn't know how much influence she would have on deconstructing harry).
after i had started watching "caddyshack" i soon thougt that maybe it would've been better if i had chosen the allen-film. maybe it wouldn't have been so bad with a bit of kirstie alley and tobey maguire. because caddyshack is a not so good film.
sure, i laughed a couple of times. the funniest things involved a squirrel and a chocolate bar mistaken for a turd, which says awfully much about the film. but i can't help laughing at chevy chase. there's just something about him.
the rest of the acting crew were a bunch loud-screaming, pretty annoying people, except for bill murray (who wasn't that funny either) and one of those women who seem to always have to show their breasts in chevy chase movies, it's funny how often it happens.
it wasn't even that much about golf, not that it mattered. there were a bunch of weird scenes, that you couldn't laugh at, but still found pretty, yeah, weird or whatever. and you get a lot of 80's music. it's always a special feeling nowadays.
but if you wanna see a chevy chase film, i'd go for "fletch" and also "fletch lives". or "vacation". after that maybe you can see "caddyshack". or that way you'll get a bit disappointed. so after all it's maybe better to start with this one and feel the quality rise while watching "fletch" and the other ones.
