Comedy from every angle

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2002)

Much has been written and expressed about this movie. There is not a single golfer in the country who is not familiar with the dialog. It has literally become a psudo language for people teeing up over the years. As for the film itself, it continues to be hilarious each and every showing. I would contend that the enduring quality of the film is that it combines 3 distinct types of humor. First, you have the slap-stick humor of Chevy Chase, which I don't think works that well. Second you have the traditional, fast and loose, comedy of Rodney Dangerfield, which I think is priceless. Finally, you have the off the wall imagination of Bill Murray. This movie marries all these styles very well. This movie could have been a disaster without the quality of the writing and performances. I saw this movie recently after having seen it countless times in the last 20 years and I still laugh. "Mrs. Green.......I'm looking at you......". This film will endure forever!!
