Advantages: Very, very funny Disadvantages: The gopher looks rubbish
Long, long ago on a review site far, far away (although not that far away if you get my drift) a popular and, previously at least, well respected film reviewer made a fatal error of judgement in one of his reviews. His name was christianfilmcritic, known to his friends as christianfilmcritic, and the review was for the film Tin Cup.
The fatal error of judgement he made was to suggest that The Legend of Bagger Vance was the greatest golf film ever ...

Advantages: A great cast of comedy greats, oh and a gopher. Disadvantages: It's very dated now
...winner.
MEEP 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 ...

Advantages: Totally hilarious Disadvantages: Poor transfer to 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!) ...

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 ...

Advantages: Fast paced, hilariously funny, not too serious Disadvantages: Might be considered too slapstick for some
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 ...

Advantages: Good cast, great laughs and disco diva gopher Disadvantages: dodgy eighties fashion
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 ...

Advantages: So funny you will laugh your pants off Disadvantages: some sexual content
In Caddyshack you will laugh a million times. This movie is so funny. Most of the movie is one a golf course. Danny works there and he helps the players with there gear. The story is showing how he is going to pay for college and get his life started. Along the way its shows some really funny and interesting characters. It is kind of hard to expain. If you need a good laugh this is it. Don't take my word you should watch it and see for yourself. There ...
