Jack Hartounian (Jackie Mason), a boorish but good-hearted real estate tycoon, applies for membership at a snooty country club, but is blackballed by the old-money WASPs, led by Chandler Young (Robert Stack). As revenge, he simply buys the club outright and turns it into a garish amusement park. Chandler wants to win the property back by challenging Jack to a golf match, but he hedges his bets by hiring deranged mercenary Tom Everett (Dan Aykroyd) to eliminate his competition.

Critics Consensus

Handicapped by a family friendly PG rating, even the talents of Caddyshack II's all-star comic cast can't save it from its lazy, laughless script and uninspired direction.

People Magazine

Chevy Chase, as a socialite who sells the club to Mason, and Dan Aykroyd, as a psycho ex-Marine hired by Stack to dispatch his enemy, are pitifully awful.

This PG-rated romp is bland bananas compared to its R-rated predecessor.

Raunchy, over-the-top '80s sequel has cursing.

The result is a disaster. Mason founders in his poorly written role, and none of the film's endless series of gags is the least bit funny.

Rated: 1/4

The first Caddyshack may have been funny, but take away some of the talent from the original and you're left with the mess that is Caddyshack II.

After years of searching I've finally found the worst movie ever made. Bad movies come in different flavors; some are bad because the film makers were inept, some are bad but good because the film makers were completely clueless but sincere. Some can be entertaining as something to mock. Some are amusing by the sheer "brilliance" of the movie makers utter failure. Some are bad because they're ill conceived, poorly paced and ultimately boring. This isn't one of those. This is an insult to film. This is a bald faced cash grab with no vision, no originality and no entertainment value. There's nothing funny about it. There's nothing even amusing about it. If it were shown to prisoners it would be considered cruel and unusual punishment. It's actually painful to watch, painful in how every bad joke falls flat, painful in the waste of talent and painful that some studio exec had so little regard for their fellow human beings they would release this thinking people would like it. This is the stupidest movie ever greenlit by greedy execs. It's so bad I can't mock it. It's so bad I can't watch it because it makes me angry. It's absolutely horrible.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
