Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine 11/05/2019
Aside from one quite hilarious scene in which chimpfaced Jerry Lewis satirizes a decadent cosmopolitan playboy, he and his smug partner (Dean Martin) are as tiresome as usual in this golf farce. The kiddies, however, seem to adore it. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 01/15/2006

Typical Jerry Lewis vehicle. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 08/21/2005

Norman Taurog's golf comedy stars Martin and Lewis at the height of their popularity as a team, but the picture became better known for its Oscar-nominated song That's Amore, Dean's first big hit. Go to Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) 03/02/2005

Matthew D 01/30/2024 A Martin and Lewis classic! See more 07/27/2015 One of the best movies and best formula for Martin & Lewis, with Lewis as the Caddy and Martin as the cad. That's Amore is wonderfully done and there are some great bits of surreal humor. See more 09/21/2014 Meh, Martin and Lewis comedy about golf expert Lewis, who's too nervous to actually play, coaching buddy Martin. Donna Reed plays the love interest and many golf legends of the era appear int eh film, including Ben Hogan and Sam Snead. Dean sings ``That's Amore.'' See more 09/11/2014 martin lewis gupoof it See more 11/24/2012 Like 'Scared Stiff', 'The Caddy' is one of Martin/Lewis's best efforts. It's warm, hilarious and enjoyable. See more 04/30/2010 Once again...okay, but nothing great. I think it's Dean Martin's fault. See more Read all reviews
