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today in that it depicts racism and bigotry, but non-snowflake viewers should have no problem understanding that such outdated attitudes are the target of the film’s irreverence...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

Watched this on a flight recently and can't believe how well it's aged. This is still the funniest and best golf movie ever made.

A legendary classic. The one scene involving Murray and Chase at the same time is incredible considering how much they disliked each other. Rodney Dangerfield needs no introduction, he steals the show. Ted Knight delivers at the villain and showed just how great he was as a comedian.

The gopher is the star of this movie. Growing up, Caddyshack was always looming in the background of my life. My dad quotes it most every day and I didn't even know til I watched it for the first time tonight. One of my fondest memories of my late grandpa is watching Charlotte's Web with him almost every time we came to stay over at his house. One time, we watched it after dinner, and when it was done, my sisters and I were carted off to bed, while my dad and grandpa stayed up to watch Caddyshack, one of their favorites. I was bummed that I didn't get to stay up late, but I remember sneaking a peek and seeing Danny walk down the stairs and eat Cheerios. Now, probably 7ish years later, that memory has been fulfilled. This movie will always remind me of my grandpa, and I'm so excited to hopefully share this film with my son.
