So full of witty one-liners, such a bad movie

Rating: 4/10 (28 February 2002)

I know I'll get blasted for this, but...
Caddyshack is a bad movie. A bad, mediocre movie. A boring movie, at times.
Dangerfield, Chase and Murray are not over the top here. They are waaaay over that. Each one of them displays their range whenever they get to appear on screen. Dangerfield is incredibly hilarious, Chase is dry and witty (sorta like David Spade), and Murray does his best ever imitation of Bluto Blutarsky (John Belushi). Oh, and let's not forget the gopher. The mere thought of it makes me laugh.
So, how on earth did no one notice that the audiences would be interested in the interaction between those three? I can only think of one scene where Chase and Dangerfield appeared together, and they might have crossed one or two words. Meanwhile, we are subjected to the tediousness of stale, bad jokes made by all the caddies.
Maybe I am wrong here, but if I had gathered those 3 comedic geniuses, I would have made a picture around them. Harold Ramis instead made a movie about an unknown, who nobody cared (or cares) about, and littered the film with sporadic appearances by the top notch actors.
Kinda like going to a Pink Floyd concert and learning that they would sing 4 of their best songs, separated by 10-15 minutes of music by bad bands.
Still, I rate this one a 7 / 10, just because the actors really push the script to the limit (that is, if there was a script to begin with). Take out the caddies, hire top comedians, and re-do Caddyshack. The right way. Please.
