Caddyshack Reviews
It's Rodney Dangerfield who rules this show, as his delivery of some truly hilarious lines is spot-on.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 14, 2025
Essentially 'Animal House' on the links, it's neither as raucous nor as outrageous as that definitive college comedy but it has the same rebellious spirit and a great cast of comedy legends showing the young co-stars how it's done.

Caddyshack is problematic today in that it depicts racism and bigotry, but non-snowflake viewers should have no problem understanding that such outdated attitudes are the target of the film’s irreverence...
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 25, 2023
...an erratic, hit-and-miss comedy that is, to an increasingly distressing extent, more miss than hit...
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 24, 2023
This campus favorite is cheap-looking and amateurishly directed, but it has some charm.
| Original Score: C | Dec 1, 2022
Still demonstrates an eye for superb comedic timing.

"Caddyshack" is an above average example of the over-inflated B-movie gag film genre because of its expert performances.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 29, 2020
Should have put the gopher to work on the script.

The humor in this film is very high-yield. I laughed and laughed, even when I probably shouldn't have.

Brian Doyle-Murray (Bill's brother) teamed with Harold Ramls and Douglas Kenney as the authors, and Ramis directed. By now, all certainly should have outgrown their sophomoric tendencies but viewing the film makes one wonder.

I love the madness in this film. It celebrates the triumph of the underdogs, the eccentrics and even the downright dangerous.

Harold Ramis' directorial debut may be messy at times but Caddyshack's zany moments are enough to overcome the faults.

Caddyshack represents everything that is wrong with contemporary film comedy.

Caddyshack has a low-budget look that warmly welcomes the all-important teenage audience.

To attempt a critical evaluation of Orion's new Caddyshack is a little like describing the esthetic qualities of an outhouse.
| Jul 25, 2017
There is a plot to this enjoyably erratic comedy... But basically it's a framework on which the writers, two of whom (Harold Ramis and Douglas Kenney) are Animal House alumni, can hang vulgar, obvious, yet often amusing gags.

Caddyshack, a derelict farce that lurches about in search of hilarious possibilities among the members and employes of a country club, is the latest misbegotten spawn of National Lampoon's Animal House.

There's still a lot of fun in this movie, and most of that comes from the heartfelt performances from the cast.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 30, 2012
A funny slapstick comedy, starring Billy Murray in top form
| Original Score: B- | Aug 16, 2011
Classic '80s comedy; not for kids.
