Caddyshack (DVD)

...now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Caddyshack is set in the prestigious and exclusive Bushwood Country Club and is the story of Danny Noonan. A young caddy from a poor background he is working to earn enough money, or win a scholarship so that he can go to college. But that isn't the point of the film and serves only as a central plot thread to hang all the other parts off. The film is a vehicle for the Saturday Night Live boys and was one of their ...
...possibly his funniest role. Caddyshack is a very eighties film (even the theme song is sung by Kenny Loggins) but it comes from the same stable as National Lampoon's Animal House and this was their golden age. If you're a fan of eighties films (you know who you are) I'd be amazed if this wasn't one of your favourite films from the period. Just to clarify things a little. I said this was the best golf film ever made and it is. That doesn't mean ...

...soundtrack dominated by Kenny Loggins. Caddyshack doesn't really have a plot to speak of, being more a ragtag collection of one liners and visual gags that go to make a whole. The story as it is... Ty Webb (Chase) is rich, smooth, good looking and probably the best golfer at Bushwood. He can play blindfolded and sink putts by using his club like a snooker cue. Unfortunately, he can't reach anywhere near this level when playing for money and just ...
...MEEP~ Everyone who has seen Caddyshack remembers the gopher above all else. Making no attempt to make the gopher look anywhere near realistic adds to its charm and gives the battle between it and Spackler an almost cartoon like quality. Indeed, it's almost like watching a Road Runner episode with Spackler as Wile E Coyote, coming up with ever more elaborate ways of catching his prey. The dance our little furry friend performs over the credits is ...

Review of Caddyshack (DVD)

...freedom to the actors in Caddyshack to try different takes on various scenes, and also to ‘ad lib’ a lot of their lines, then selecting what turned out the funniest for inclusion in the movie. It was also actor Rodney Dangerfield’s first full length feature film, but you wouldn’t know it from his acting, and it lead to him playing many other similar roles (loud, brash, bigmouth) in the future. A sequel to Caddyshack called (believe it or not!) ‘Caddyshack ...
...~ ~ I already had Caddyshack recorded on tape, (from the telly) but had had my eye open for a DVD version for ages. I eventually got it at “ www.play.com” for the bargain price of only £9.99. (Delivery free) But in all honesty, the picture and sound quality isn’t much better than my old, recorded VHS tape. About the only redeeming feature of the DVD is that it DOES come in widescreen, although the sound leaves a lot to be desired, as it’s recorded ...

Caddyshack - 1980 - Orion Pictures Starring - Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Michael O'Keefe, Ted Knight, Bill Murray, Cindy Morgan and Sarah Holcomb. Directed By - Harold Ramis Produced By - Don Macdonald First impressions - This film is about golf, plain and simple. Personally I am not a massive fan of this sport but this film makes it a lot more fun. The whole plot surrounds a young lad named Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe) and the golf course ...
...very well by the actors although Bill Murray has a relatively small part as the groundsman Carl Speckler. Minor description of plot - The film starts at the house in which Danny Noonan lives with his family. He is a golf caddy at Bushwood golf course and has got his eyes set on going to college when he has saved up enough money. We then get introduced to Ty Webb (Chevy Chase) who you never really find much information about. All he seems to do is ...

Review of Caddyshack (DVD)

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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Caddyshack (DVD)

The greatest golf film ever, with the possible exception of Happy Gilmore. Ok so a great golf film is not that great a recommendation but this is true chevy chase style 80's comedy. A young caddy wants to earn his right to go to college but he has to impress the pompous Judge Smails at the golf club to get his scholarship. He befriends the carefree Chase who gives lots of useless advice to achieve the success he has achieved. Chase is probably the ...
...the judge gets up his nose. The local slob of a property developer joins the club and breaks all the rules of etiquette, much to the annoyance of the judge, then when the developer sinks the judge's boat they challenge each other to a round, the loser to disappear into the sunset. The story is peppered with some great moments including a fantastic performance from Bill Murray as the assistant greenkeeper, who goes to the most extreme lengths to ...

If you need a good laugh this is it. Don't take my word you should watch it and see for yourself. ...
