briremo Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I think the greatest line in Caddyshack is when Rodney Dangerfield's character is in the clubhouse buying stuff for his guest and picks up that hat and says "Boy, you buy a hat like that and you get a free bowl of soup", then looks at the steaming mad Judge Smells and says "Oh but it looks good on you" and rolls his eyes. classic!

I've never understood why people find it so funny and rate it as such a classic. Chevy, Rodney and Bill have their moments in it but i've never found it to be anything that special overall. Certainly not worth the high praise it seems to get all the time. I enjoy Caddyshack, but I do think it's significantly overrated. It's too all over the place and haphazard - maybe that's what people like about it. I agree, except I didn't really enjoy it (I found it meh). Still it's a classic compared to Caddyshack II. <--- Also not much of a fan of "Caddyshack." I love Caddyshack. Great jokes and great characters. It's basically a Marx Brothers movie where plot is way down on the list of priorities. The point is to make you laugh as loud as possible. For me Caddyshack accomplishes that every time I watch it. Caddyshack is classic. Something is wrong if you don't bust a seam laughing during the baby ruth scene. And the lines are classic. Carl Spackler: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. Angie D'Annunzio: A looper? Carl Spackler: A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. Or how about this classic: Carl Spackler: This crowd has gone deadly silent, a Cinderella story outta nowhere. Former greenskeeper and now about to become the masters champion...Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole! Yet another. Judge Smails: You know, you should play with Dr. Beeper and myself. I mean, he's been club champion for three years running and I'm no slouch myself. Ty Webb: Don't sell yourself short Judge, you're a tremendous slouch. Sorry but Caddyshack is hilarious. Absolutely agree!!! I find Caddyshack to be among the most quotable comedies of all time.

It's basically a Marx Brothers movie where plot is way down on the list of priorities. The point is to make you laugh as loud as possible. For me Caddyshack accomplishes that every time I watch it. Yeah, I think that's where it loses it for me. I look at my list of favorite comedies, and all of them have a fairly coherent plot to move the story along while you're laughing. Interestingly, I just saw most of a biography on Caddyshack, and that's very much how it was filmed - a LOT of stuff was ad-libbed and scenes were hastily written on the spot or the day before, etc. They had to piece together a movie in the editing room, and it wasn't easy. That just confirmed what I always felt about the movie, that it had that haphazard quality to it. Funny in parts, but nowhere near one of my fave comedies. I saw the same documentary on the making of Caddyshack. That was really interesting. Just one huge never ending, good time party from what it sounded like...Unless you were Harold Ramis. It was originally written as a coming of age movie about the caddies, but with Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Rodney Dangerfield in it, they stole the show as most of their scenes were ad-libbed. The movie studio insisted on endless re-writes and with the three big stars doing the most funny stuff eventually it just became what it was, just a montage of skits with some story thrown in for continuity. I love Caddyshack and remember the night my dad took me, my sister and one of her friends to see in at the movies...i was about 11 and laughed my ass into hysteria.
