Caddyshack - 1990 * * * * *

Some people just don't belong.

I mentioned in my previous post (The Hangover) how America hadn't really churned out many good comedies for at least ten years. Well this film is now 30 years old and still as hilarious as I can imagine it was when it was released.

Bill Murray is always funny; he has an ability to make somebody laugh simply by looking at them with a sneer on his lips.

Chevy Chase plays his usual 'National Lampoon' slightly simple but fairly harmless character.

The fun centres around a golf club ( with a hilarious toy beaver who runs through the tunnels underground with brute force, aware of his impending threat of extermination by Murray's sinister yet hilarious Carl, the pest control/odd job man - probably some of the funniest bits in the film as he seems constantly stoned!)

The club seems set to be taken over by a yobbish and undiginified individual ( played excellently by Rodney Dangerfield) which does not go down very well at all with Judge Smails (who I swear is a ringer for an old Frank Sinatra!.) Amidst all this chaos the caddyshack boys are causing trouble as they try to suck up to the Judge and golf tournaments are running amok as the wealthy men battle it out with... well the even wealthier!

I'm not saying this film doesn't have some random ( and to be honest totally pointless sex scenes-references) but on the whole it is more of a slapstick attempt than anything else. And also tremendous fun.
