A free-wheeling, irreverent comedy featuring some of the screens top funnymen, Caddyshack employed the same brand of cheerfully anarchic, low-brow humor that made Animal House a smash hit just two years earlier. In this 1980 romp, the members of a posh country club are terrorized by the arrival of Rodney Dangerfield, portraying a nouveau riche slob who cracks tasteless jokes about everything, including his own flatulence ("Oooh! What, did somebody step on a duck?"). Chevy Chase is appropriately droll as a wealthy idler who applies zen principles to his golf game, and Bill Murray engages in periodic scene-stealing as a goofy grounds-keeper beset with gopher problems. To balance all the oddball characterizations, sitcom regular Ted Knight is cast as one of the clubs most dyspeptic members, and surprisingly, he makes for an admirable straight man. Director Harold Ramis (Groundhog Day) never allows the plot to intrude upon the zany antics of his gifted players, who keep Caddyshack moving at a giddy pace. Ed Hulse
