Caddyshack Description
Harold Ramis's directorial debut is a hysterical farce set at the
typically hoity-toity Bushwood County club. A send-up of the typical
class struggle, it pits the caddies against the establishment with
riotous results. This wacky comedy features insanely funny
performances from Bill Murray, as the local groundskeeper obsessed
with killing off the gophers who are infesting the golf course, as
well as Chevy Chase as a wealthy antiestablishment member of
Bushwood and Rodney Dangerfield, who shines as a land-shark real
estate mogul who couldn't care less about the rules and regulations
at the snobby club.
CADDYSHACK is number 71 on the American Film
Institute's list of America's 100 Funniest Movies.
CADDYSHACK was Harold Ramis's first feature-length film as a
director.

This hysterical farce, set against the backdrop of
the typically hoity-toity Bushwood Country club, pits the caddies
vs. the establishment with riotous results. Danny, a poor kid from
the wrong side of the tracks, is struggling to make it as a caddy at
Bushwood. Terrified of being a caddy for life, he is dying to win
the Bushwood annual caddy scholarship and is willing to do whomever
and whatever it takes. The caddies carouse, smoke, and curse their
way around Bushwood, wrecking havoc on the uptight rules and
regulations strictly adhered to by most of the members of the club.
Chevy Chase stars as Ty Webb, a wealthy antiestablishment member of
Bushwood who tries to convince Danny that there is more to life than
playing by the rules. This wacky comedy also features an insanely
delightful performance by Bill Murray, as the local groundskeeper
who becomes obsessed with killing off the gophers who have infested
the golf course, with bang-up results. When Al Czervik (Rodney
Dangerfield) comes to town he sets the country club--and Judge
Smails, played by the fabulous Ted Knight--on end with his poor
taste, bad humor, and big money. The final showdown between the
snobs and the slobs is not to be missed. CADDYSHACK is one of the
most-quoted comedies of all time, and with good reason.

movie....You appreciate the effort and the intelligence behind
