Who hasn't seen "Caddyshack"? I'm surprised I still hadn't reviewed it since taking up with IMDb. So I watched it last night, and even though some parts are a chore to sit through, Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield make up for it with their zany antics. The gopher is pretty entertaining too, with top notch animation and a personality that makes you laugh. Whoever has seen the film will immediately relate to the swimming pool scene with groundskeeper Carl (Murray) retrieving the Baby Ruth candy bar, while filthy rich businessman Al Czervik (Dangerfield) delivers his lines like he was still doing stand-up. With a handful of side stories, the picture reaches its bombastic conclusion with Murray's character blowing up an entire country club's golf course in pursuit of the relentless gopher. This is one to just switch your mind off, sit back and relax, and let the principals do their thing. Not that great cinematically, but more than memorable once you've seen it.
