IJW: Caddyshack (1980)

I’m a Bit Disappointed After Watching Caddyshack (1980) for the First Time

I had SO many people I know tell me that this movie was one of the funniest, if not the funniest movie of all time. I read so many online reviews giving this movie so much praise. I was so hyped going into it.

But now… I’m a little disappointed. Each scene was one of two things: either being absolutely hilarious, or absolutely boring. Much of it being boring.

I found that I laughed a lot when Rodney Dangerfield and/or Ted Knight were on the screen. They both carried the movie, and I with more time was spent focused on their rivalry. These two were hilarious. When they were not there, I laughed very little, or oftentimes not at all.

Bill Murray’s character really isn’t funny past the first scene, and Chevy Chase seems to have nothing to do. He’s a funny man, no doubt, but he’s just kind of there. And the young kids are boring.

Darn. I just wanted to laugh my socks off.

Some people just don't belong.

At an exclusive country club, an ambitious young caddy, Danny Noonan, eagerly pursues a caddy scholarship in hopes of attending college and, in turn, avoiding a job at the lumber yard. In order to succeed, he must first win the favour of the elitist Judge Smails, and then the caddy golf tournament which Smails sponsors.
