Most of the time when a movie is remade, the powers that be keep the original title in order to capitalize on that movies success and then fall flat on the delivery of something decent to watch. But here we're given a treat with this up to date version of Caddyshack, that competes with the original laugh for laugh. With a strong supporting cast Jeffery Jones and Outcast's Big Boi tear up the links of a high class country club faster than Bill Murray and Chevy Chase. The similarities between the two movies are quite evident but this golf comedy is a strong successor for a new generation.
When rap mogul C-Note decides to join the local country club he must fight against the unfair practices of the club's board and its president. Some of the jokes that are in here are a little old but put into a new light some of them seem fresh and new. Big Boi comes across as a well seasoned comedian here, for some actors playing the joker and the straight guy is a difficult role to fill yet in this film he does it with an expert flair. The supporting cast helps carry this story to comedy levels that transferred well on to the screen, and every step of the way you can see that they were having fun with the whole thing.
From the opening scenes to the final credits there are very few parts that don't leave you laughing and cheering for C-Note and his posse. I wasn't expecting to much from this film, figuring that it was going to be a bad remake of a classic movie. But with the talent that is gathered here you can't have anything other than fun. It will be interesting to see if Big Boi goes on to do other films where he can grow and develop as an actor in the comedy genre.
