Search - Caddyshack [20th Anniversary Edition]

The smash success Caddyshack became a prototype for countless other wacky T&A-tinged teen comedies of the early 1980s. At an exclusive country club for WASPish snobs, an ambitious young caddy (Michael O'Keefe) from an overpopulated home 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 favor of the elitist Judge Smails (Ted Knight), then the caddy golf tournament which the good judge sponsors. Of course, there are love interests as well -- one good, one naughty -- not to mention several foes he must vanquish along the way. The story itself serves to string along a series of slapstick scenes involving an obnoxious nouveau riche land developer (Rodney Dangerfield) who wants to turn the site into a condominium community; an oddball, Zen-quoting, millionaire slacker/golf ace (Chevy Chase); and a psychotic groundskeeper (Bill Murray) with a gopher-fixation. Caddyshack was a bona fide hit; throughout the '80s and '90s, director Harold Ramis would continue to create such hits as Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, and Analyze This. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

One of the best golf films ever made, Caddyshack is a movie high on the list of any comedy fan. As a DVD, however, it doesn't deliver the same punch. The widescreen transfer is from an older print, and the audio options are Dolby digital or just plain mono. Unfortunately the extras aren't much better than the transfer. There's no audio commentary, which could have been a classic on a film like this. There is a 30-minute behind-the-scenes feature entitled "The 19th Hole" which includes interviews with director Harold Ramis and star Chevy Chase plus a few outtakes and rare deleted scenes. Somehow the comedy of the film doesn't translate to this documentary, and the noticeable absence of Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray make one think its producers didn't delve as deeply as they should have. Other extras are strictly by the numbers, including theatrical trailer, production notes and French language and subtitles. ~ Arthur Borman, All Movie Guide
