Caddyshack

Directed by Harold Ramis
1980
★ 5.1 editorial score

Bill Murray improvised nearly all of his part and the gopher was added after shooting finished: a country club comedy with no functioning plot and absolutely no need for one.

“Mr. Murray is funny mostly because he tries so hard. He reminds me of an usually clean-cut, buttoned-down type of suburban fellow who, after two or three stiff drinks, delights his pals with his uninhibited impressions of slobs and boors. You don't for a minute believe him - you are always aware of the distance between the performer and the performance, but you appreciate the effort and the intelligence behind it.”
— Vincent Canby · The New York Times
