Amazon.com video review:
A no-brainer that has become a low-brow classic, this 1980
comedy makes anarchy the rule of the day, unleashing the antics of
Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, and Chevy Chase.
Caddyshack is about the scheme of a vulgar land developer
(Dangerfield) who wants to build condominiums on the site of a ritzy
country club. Director Harold Ramis (who later reunited with Murray to
make Groundhog
Day) is content to let the comedy follow a variety of wacky
detours, most notably Murray's maniacal war with a gopher that has
been digging up the golf course. Dangerfield ultimately steals the
show, firing off a battery of one-liners, insults, and tasteless
gags. Caddyshack is the kind of movie some people have been
known to watch several times a year, reciting every line of dialogue
like the followers of a bizarre comedic ritual. --Jeff Shannon
