Review of Caddyshack

Caddyshack (1980)
6/10
Not bad but not good
29 November 2015
Well, well, well, finally the time has come and I've watched this so acclaimed comedy. First of all I consider myself a Bill Murray fan, I've enjoyed somewhat Chavy Chase and Roger Dangerfield's work, so the fact I had never watched Caddyshack until now was becoming a sense of guilt. Damn, I had read reviews saying this is one of the best comedies of the eighties. So, after watching Caddyshack I only could shake my head and tried to understand how this can be one of the funniest movies ever. I can't make heads or tails of this film, I mean, it feels like it was made of different sketches with no solid or unified script,and full of wasted actors (Bill Murray is like useless) or plain bad acting (Chavy Chase), gratuitous nudity (ok, eighties comedy I know) and a terrible pacing. Nonetheless I can't say this is the worst movie I've ever seen, it's enjoyable till certain point, but in no way this is one of the best comedies around.
