Harold Ramis' first step into the director's chair certainly doesn't disappoint in this free-flowing slap stick comedy set in a toffee-nosed country club.

Whilst the general plot of the film centres around the attempts of Danny Noonan (played well by Michael O Keefe) to gain a caddy scholarship, there are so many hilarious and captivating side-plots that the film doesn't appear to have a 'main character' as such, rather an intertwining story full of side-splittingly funny persons involved with the golf course. From the gorgeous femme fetale Maggie, to the bullish Al Czervick who comes out with one liners like no other (' what a great wife, she must have been something before electricity!') to the delightfully philosophical Ty played by Chevy Chase. Add to that the show-stealing performance of the fresh-faced Bill Murray as Carl Spackler, the crazy assistant greenkeeper obsessed with hunting down the rather less than life like gophers who are rampaging the course and you can imagine the tremendous blend of personalities portrayed in this film.

Overall in my opinion this film really is a delight to watch and moves effortlessly from character to character whilst still holding down a watchable plot. Both hilariously funny and enteraining , Ramis has certainly captured the magic he created whilst writing National Lampoon's Animal House two years prior. A true Classic.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.

Review was good but a little brief. One of my favourite films though.
