videorama-759-859391 Here's another example of a sequel that falls into "the too late, and why bother category". It has one asset: Jackie Mason. He's a classic, and rightfully likable guy, where Bushwood won't accept him, so he retaliates and that he does with personal malice, by planning to knock it down and put up an amusement park. All the magic to the original Caddyshack has gone, save for a couple of original stars, including that notorious gopher who we see more of, in this. Chevy Chase chatting up some hotties, uses some rude, tasteless lines that kind of mirrors how this quality whole movie comes across. Dan Ackroyd, donning a real high squealy voice, comes across as really annoying, a pain in the butt, which is where he gets shot with an poison arrow. Watching Weekend At Bernie's Jonathan Silverman at the start, getting used, by a snotty heartlss bi..h, that has him running many yards to fetch her a soft drink, made me thirsty, which had me thinking later, this scene was pointless and unfunny, although I'll always remember it. Mason and some hotties are really the only things, this movie has going for it, oh, and that gopher. Off by many tees.

SnoopyStyle Only Chevy Chase and the gopher are back. The Bushwood country club are getting new electric golf carts and the caddies won't be needed anymore. Jack Hartounian (Jackie Mason) is the inappropriate construction boss with a golfing daughter Kate (Jessica Lundy). He doesn't fit in with the snobby high class members especially since some of them from the historical society want to stop his low income apartment building. The only true friends may be Ty Webb (Chevy Chase) and caddy Harry (Jonathan Silverman).Rodney Dangerfield doesn't come back and they replace him with Jackie Mason. I respect his old school comedic style. He manages to put some of those jokes in here. I find it endearing at first. Chevy Chase is back but he's just a supporting player anyways. This is Jackie Mason's movie. I don't even know why the gopher is back. It's really just a mascot without Bill Murray. The movie isn't as horrible as one may expect, but the lost of so much comedic power could never be truly replaced. Dan Aykroyd is probably the only one of the new cast who actually gets this sense of humor ostensibly to take over Bill Murray's comedic spirit. One must judge this without the Caddyshack name. Even then, this is a bland comedy.

drewrhutchinson If you had to choose this to either be A) The worst movie of the 80s. B) The worst sequel. C) Worst sport movie or D) All the above. I choose D. I saw Caddyshack a year before I saw The first one, and that was back in 1992 when ABC decided to air this movie as part of their Saterday night movie night. To be honest here. This movie is not good as any of the movies that came out in 1988. The only good one I seen that year was Willow. The main problem was that it did not compare to the first. The cast in this one did not have same type of cemenstry that the cast in the first one had. First of all they replaced a red head Michael O Keef w a dark hair cool new comer Johathan Silverman, then they Replace Bill Murray who save the first one w another Ghost Buster Dan Aykoyd, then they replace Roddney Dangerfeld w an obnoxious Jackie Mason. And then Harold Ramis decides to give Allen Arkush the directing job and has not directed another movie since this one. The rest of this film was just slow and dry. Just remember that this was one of the first movie that Warner Brother put a new thing called DVD. The DVD cost $5.00 at Walmart and there no special feather. Just the movie in full screen along w chapter names.Food for thought. If its a nice and sunny day and its 70 degrees outside. Instead of spending $5.00 or or watching this movie. Why not go out the country club and treat you and your friends to a nice game of gold. Or if its a nice and sunny Sunday afternoon. Take the family to the miniature golf course and play a nice round of miniature golf

theskylabadventure Caddyshack 2 has a dreadful reputation, due only to the fact that it is a sequel to a highly-held classic. People have criticised the film on a lot of grounds, but they all ultimately hark back to the fact that this is not Caddyshack.I would begin by saying that we should just take Caddyshack out of the equation and consider this film on its own merits, but I think that would be unfair. The movie does have a lot in common with its predecessor. The class-related themes of 'snobs versus slobs' and the desire to fit in to a class above your own are as prevalent here as they were in the first movie. The two things that are truly lacking here are Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield, who are replaced with Dan Ackroyd and Jackie Mason respectively.Now I am not about to try and argue that Ackroyd comes close to Murray in the movie, but Jackie Mason is an admirable successor to Dangerfield. He comes off as a cross between Dangerfield and Arnold Stang, but without biting too heavily on either. I wouldn't say that he is anywhere close to being as funny as Dangerfield is in Caddyshack, but there is a whole lot more point to his character and his dilemma in the film.Chevy Chase only pops up and handful of times in the movie, which is another common complaint. Maybe these particular naysayers didn't notice that he only popped up a few times in the first movie. For my money, his scenes here are a lot funnier, if somewhat over-directed.While I'm on the subject, it is really the over-direction of this movie that brings it down. It comes across as far more self-conscious in its attempts to get a laugh. Many of the jokes are laboured and there's far too much of the Gopher, who seems to have taken on a far more anthropomorphic personality and a voice, just in case we didn't grasp the idea that its meant to be funny.Characters are similarly hammered home, particularly the smarmy yuppy kids. Jackie Mason rarely misses a beat, and is consistently likable and very funny, but we didn't need the tango sequence at all! The director is clearly not of the same school of thought as Harold Ramis. Not to suggest that Caddyshack was subtle, but the jokes here are just a little overcooked, and most of them are unnecessarily embellished with a quirky music cue.All things considered, this is a fun, goofy movie with something to say about class and identity that very few movies at the time were saying. Don't be put off by the appallingly low rating on IMDb, check it out for yourself.
