Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe), a teen down on his luck, works as a caddy at the snob-infested Bushwood Country Club to raise money for his college education.

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today in that it depicts racism and bigotry, but non-snowflake viewers should have no problem understanding that such outdated attitudes are the target of the film’s irreverence...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

When they cared enough to hire the very best... there was a time when making movies was an art, even if the movie was about a bunch a dumb folks playing golf.

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é bacaninha, e a maioria ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem e melhores e relevantes, o filme tem cenas engraçadas como o maluco tocando a bola longe, mas o buraco do golfe está do lado dele, e algumas cenas do Bill Murray vs a toupeira que estava em baixo dos buracos de golfe, e também a cena final da explosão dos buracos de golfe, que fez o garoto ganhar o torneio de golfe, a cena não foi engraçada, mas foi boa, outras cenas do filme não teve graça, mas mesmo assim, o filme foi bacaninha, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.
