Uneven, see it for Chevy Chase.

Rating: 4/10 (27 June 2004)

Uneven comedy has three or four B-stories, which lead us astray from the less-interesting A-story of the young caddy Danny Noonan who wants to be a golfer. You could write four or five different plot outlines focusing on the different B-stories, but the best one probably just focuses on general "comic goings-on at an exclusive golf club," (Rob Hartill, imdb Plot Outline).
This is Harold Ramis's first film. He would go on to make the first National Lampoon's Vacation movie with Chevy Chase, and one of the best comedies ever made, Groundhog Day. We also have him to thank for Analyse This. For fans of Ramis, this is definitely worth a look.
Bill Murray is insane and over-the-top (and pretty funny in places), Cindy Morgan is cute as Lacey Underall, the big boss's daughter, the kid Danny Noonan is funny looking and i'd be happy if I never saw Rodney Dangerfield ever again - but the gem of the piece is without a doubt Chevy Chase. He's the reason to see this. This is his first big movie role after being discovered on Saturday Night Live (his career would get its big boost with Vacation in 83 and Fletch in 85) - and its a knockout. Its one of those parts where he'll say a line completely deadpan, and you're ears will do a double-take, and you'll go: hang on, what did he say?
For fans of undergraduate comedy like Animal House, this is worth a look. If anyone is particularly offended by racial humour, there are enough racial stereotypes and jokes in the beginning to end a peace conference. They're not malicious, and they peter off after the first half hour, and after this it ends up being enjoyable and pretty funny - especially Chevy Chase. 6/10.
