Product Description
The greenskeeper is about to start World War III - against a gopher. The judge plays to win but his nubile niece has her mind set on scoring her own way. The playboy shoots perfect golf by pretending he is the ball. And the country club loudmouth just doubled a $20000 bet on a 10-foot putt. Insanity? No. Caddyshack. Chevy Chase Rodney Dangerfield Ted Knight and Bill Murray tee off for a side-splitting round of fairway foolishness that does for golf what Animal House did for college fraternities and Police Academy did for law enforcement.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 085391163046 Manufacturer No: 116304

A purely tasteless, moronic, guilty pleasure. Director Harold Ramis employs a mixture of Mad magazine/National Lampoon maturity and Saturday Night Live sarcasm in this goofball golf comedy set on the grounds of a posh country club. Somewhere buried in the slapstick antics, drug references, Marx Brothers-like insults, and gratuitous sex scenes are the intertwined, forgettable subplots of a poor caddie (Michael O'Keefe) trying to earn enough cash to attend college, and golf-tournament and class battles between rich and even richer snobs. Mainly, Ramis just lets his colorful group of eccentrics crash into each other, relying on several inspired performances to create several hilarious moments of sketch comedy. Most come from the trio of Bill Murray (playing a vile, obsessed groundskeeper engaged in a one-man war with a charismatic and very stuffed gopher), Rodney Dangerfield (basically re-creating his crude standup routine), and Chevy Chase (who looks bemusedly stoned throughout). Quotable favorites include Murray's acted-out fantasy of winning the Masters, his tall tale about caddying for the Dalai Lama, an overreaching priest's rain-soaked golf game, Dangerfield's verbal assault on the club's uptight dining patrons, and Chase's lesson on the essence of golf ("Be the ball, Danny"). A perfect double feature with other comparably crass films such as National Lampoon's Vacation or Stripes. The DVD version includes production notes and the theatrical trailer. --Dave McCoy

Caddy Shack February 24, 2010
Robert A. Jones (LINDEN, NEW JERSEY, US)
A true classic. I can view this 100 times and still laugh. I would like to add that UStrade did a fine job in shipping a replacement DVD when I had a problem with the first one.
 Best golf movie February 11, 2010
C.C. (CALIF,)
Hilarious, one of the greatest comedies ever made, Rodney Dangerfield is the greatest, you will love this movie everytime you see it, never gets old, these were the days when comedy was at some of it's truest from, now it is all bathroom humor and too raunchy, it just goes too far nowadays. If you buy this movie, you will love and always get enjoyment out it, truly a classic.
 atrocious February 6, 2010
Caraculiambro (La Mancha and environs)
Man, I gotta learn to stop trusting the Internet.
I watched this because I recently saw it listed as #2 on Bravo's list of funniest movies of all time.
I had known about Caddyshack for decades, but for some reason never saw a bit of it. But after reading about its ranking, I determined to watch it. Even without that ranking, it's famous enough on its own terms. Plus I love Ramis and Murray!
But what was all the excitement about? I didn't get a single laugh out of this. The entire thing was moronic.
I've got no problem with teen flicks and even potty humor, but this movie had no real plot or message, just a series of anecdotes connected by nothing more than that they all took place at a golf resort.
I wish I could travel back in time to 1980, when this was released. I'd go see it in some theater, sit in the very front row, and then turn around at glare at all the morons who found this funny.
Definitely humor from a more innocent age. Doesn't hold up well.

M. KochKetola (Middletown, CT)
Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray do some of there best comidic work in this wacky film. The main plot is a little weak but that hardly matters when you have Bill Murray as a deranged groundskeeper trying to exterminate a Golpher, Chevy Chase as a strangely Zen golf pro and Rodney Dangerfield as a crass flamboyant nouveau riche real estate tycoon.
great movie September 9, 2009
Holly Golitely (Florida)
