It had been a few years since I'd seen Caddyshack and I forgot just how damn funny this 1980 comedy classic is from beginning to end!
Rodney Dangerfield is at his all time film best (although Back to School is a close second) with the greatest golf bag of all time and some of comedy's best lines. "I imagine if you buy that hat you get a free bowl of soup, looks good on you though!" "Maybe I should have yelled TWO!" "Mr Wang, I thing this club is restricted, don't tell 'em your Jewish".
Then there's Chevy Chase at the top of his physical and verbal comedy game, Ted Knight in his blustery best "Spaulding!" and of course, Bill Murray as Carl, the worlds greatest groundskeeper/gopher hunter.
Murray was the biggest surprise for me watching it again, every moment with him is just flat out hilarious. The scene with Chevy Chase visiting Carl in his "house" is one of the best in the film.
Mix in some Kenny Loggins 80's tunes, Lacey Underall, a dancing gopher, the Bishop and a Baby Ruth and you've got 18 holes of comedy gold.
"So I got that going for me, and that's pretty good....:
A hilarious hole-in-one that gets an A+ on our scorecard and a spot in my all-time Top 100.
