Caddyshack

When it comes to sports comedies you can't get any better then this one, after seeing this film you get the feeling that you could almost tolerate watching the real thing. Forget it, I'm only kidding, watching this movie is the only way to watch a golf tournament and enjoy yourself. The team of comedians in this film are great, every one of the four men in their respective roles are at the top of their game. Who ever came up with the idea of putting Ted Knight, Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase, and Bill Murray together here was a genius, and should be given sainthood.
A snobbish country club is about to see what happens when life comes and slaps it in the face, an illegal high stakes golf tournament drives everyone involved to the breaking point with all of their futures in the balance. All of the characters that are created here are just perfect, from a greens keeper who is dumber than the grass that he cuts, to a golfer that shoots perfect golf by "becoming the ball", to a gopher that is smarter than anyone in the club, once they tee off the laughs never stop. The hilarious Harold Ramis co-wrote and directed this film with the flair of a seasoned director who had been doing comedy all of his life.
With all successful movies, Hollywood tries to repeat the magic with sequels, and like most they just don't work. I won't even think about the sequel to this movie in the context that it wasn't a good idea from the moment of conception. But this film has so many good points its to find a place to start, so suffice it to say that you can't get any better than this if you are looking for a comedy that will leave you rolling and laughing on the floor.
