I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Caddyshack II (1988) BOMB (out of 4) One might see CADDYSHACK II and right off the bat thinks it's just a cheap, piece of trash thrown together quickly to cash-in on the success of the first film. I mean, this here is often what happens when you have a hit film but that's not exactly the case here because this came eight years after the original so they certainly had time to come up with something better. You can read the various production problems elsewhere and you can also read the plot summery elsewhere. No matter what you read or see, CADDYSHACK II is without question a horrid film that lives up to its reputation as one of the worst sequels ever made. Chevy Chase is the only person back and then we have Jackie Mason, Robert Stack, Dyan Cannon, Randy Quaid and Dan Aykroyd basically playing rip-off characters of what were seen in the original. Again, it's clear that this here was a horrible idea right from the start as the cast and writers have freely admitted this. It's still shocking to think that the studio wanted something like this but I guess they thought it would be easy cash. The entire screenplay is just so unfunny that you can't help but wonder why anyone signed onto it. The entire finale dealing with a competition runs way too long and it takes forever to get where it's going. There's really nothing working in this picture, although there might have been one or two small smiles throughout the entire running time. The cast are just annoying and you know you're in trouble when a fake gopher gives the best performance.
It's eight years after the mega-hit "Caddyshack," and the studio wants to milk that cash cow again, but it all went horribly, horribly wrong. They couldn't get Rodney Dangerfield, so they went with the third-string facsimile, Jackie Mason. Ted Knight? No, Robert Stack. Bill Murray? No, a bizarre and whiny Dan Ackroyd, in what has to be the worst performance of his career. I guess Chevy Chase's phone wasn't ringing off the hook, since he reprises his role as Ty Webb.And it all went downhill from there. Where else could it go? Randy Quaid is just awful (surprise!) as is Dyan Cannon, Jonathan Silverman and Dina Merrill. The script could have been written by a high school drama class (and probably was), the direction is tepid and unfocused, and the whole thing is a limp and deadly mess.Save your time and money and brain cells. It was like watching a car wreck--you want to avert your gaze, but you just can't believe what you are seeing. The worst sequel of all time. Ever, ever, ever.
Caddyshack 2 is so bad it must be seen to be disbelieved (and I loved Caddyshack). It is an insult to movies, golf, gophers and humanity in general and must rank as one of the worst movies ever made.It's not bad in a bad Adam Sandler movie way either. It is so bad its surreal. It is so strange and poorly written you will be convinced that the screenwriters must have been dropping acid. Everyone in the movie is embarrassingly awful and Dan Akroyd, who speaks his lines in a strange, high-pitched voice, should have his SAG card revoked for his performance as a crazed grounds keeper.The movie "stars" an incredibly miscast and unfunny Jackie Mason, and his love interest is played by an ancient and cadaverous looking Dyan Cannon (I am not kidding). To give you an idea of how old Dyan Cannon is, she was once married to Cary Grant. For masochists only.
I have vague memories of this movie being funny.Having seen it again either I have changed or I was thinking about a another film altogether.It seems as if we are supposed to be sympathetic to Jackie Mason's character however nothing in the movie actually engenders that emotion. Its notable that he is really the only person accorded tender dialogue with loved ones. No-one else's character is allowed to rise to the status of even vaguely human.I don't even like golf but as the film went on I found myself really rooting for Robart Stack and the club guys, really hoping they would repel Mason and Chevy Chase.
