If ANIMAL HOUSE was on a golf course this is what you would get. Harold Ramis directs and co-wrote with Douglas Kenney and Brian Doyle-Murray (who both had acting parts as well) one of the greatest sports films of all time. Now, I admit there really isn't much of a plot going on, but tons of laughs and that is a main ingredient to a comedy.
Chevy Chase plays one of his strangest, but also one of his best characters in golfing great Ty Webb. Love his golfing practice where he states the be the ball line "NA NA NA NA" while putting balls into the hole. Ted Knight plays uptight and snooty Judge Smails and Rodney Dangerfield plays rich slob Al Czervik. Together they have great scenes where they have an ongoing feud. Bill Murray plays crazy, lame-brained assistant groundskeeper Carl Spackler. Finally, Michael O'Keefe plays Danny Noonan who is a caddy at Bushwood and looking to win the caddy tournament and perhaps get help financially with his college education.
This film really has some great classic comic scenes like when the caddies go to the Bushwood pool, the christening of the Flying Wasp and The Bishop (Henry Wilcoxon) having the game of his life with Murray as his caddy. Not to mention the ongoing scenes of Murray trying to kill the gopher that is destroying the golf course.
Really a must see for those who enjoy classic comedies. Hilarious and totally influential to me. The four main comic leads in Chase, Dangerfield, Knight and Murray are in top form.
