Meanwhile, Danny struggles to prepare for the high pressure Caddy Day golf tournament while absorbing New Age advice from wealthy golf guru Ty Webb (Chevy Chase).

Critics Consensus

Though unabashedly crude and juvenile, Caddyshack nevertheless scores with its classic slapstick, unforgettable characters, and endlessly quotable dialogue.

"Caddyshack" is an above average example of the over-inflated B-movie gag film genre because of its expert performances.

Rated: 2.5/4

The humor in this film is very high-yield. I laughed and laughed, even when I probably shouldn't have.

It's Rodney Dangerfield who rules this show, as his delivery of some truly hilarious lines is spot-on.

Rated: 3/4

Essentially 'Animal House' on the links, it's neither as raucous nor as outrageous as that definitive college comedy but it has the same rebellious spirit and a great cast of comedy legends showing the young co-stars how it's done.

Caddyshack is problematic today in that it depicts racism and bigotry, but non-snowflake viewers should have no problem understanding that such outdated attitudes are the target of the film’s irreverence...

Rated: 4/5

"Caddyshack" is a difficult film to explain. The story is about a caddy and... his story is immediately irrelevant. This movie is completely taken over by the absolute comedic legends that they have just make whatever joke they wanted. Look at that cast up there. Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield. Combine that with the genius of Harold Ramis and you have yourself some comedic gold. Now, comedy is a subjective thing. The humor in this is very much a matter of taste. It depends on your threshold for silliness and your tolerance for early 80's crudeness. But for those who like the film, they love it.
