Caddyshack II (1988)

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Rich contractor Jackie Mason has at the urging of his daughter Jessica Lundy gone to mix with the establishment at a posh country club. Her best friend is Chyna Phillips who is the spoiled rotten daughter of club president Robert Stack and Dina Merrill. She also has a brother Brian McNamara who is equally spoiled and interested in Lundy.So Mason goes there and truly does not fit. What does he do but start a social revolution of sorts as was done in the original Caddyshack.Only Chevy Chase and the gopher return from the original cast. The chemistry in the cast of the original is missing. Caddyshack II is not the classic low brow comedy that the original was.Some funny stuff is present though. I liked the brain dead Dan Aykroyd and his battle of wits with the elusive gopher. Guess who comes out on top?Definitely second rate. Like a road company production of the original Caddyshack.

Here's another example of a sequel that falls into "the too late, and why bother category". It has one asset: Jackie Mason. He's a classic, and rightfully likable guy, where Bushwood won't accept him, so he retaliates and that he does with personal malice, by planning to knock it down and put up an amusement park. All the magic to the original Caddyshack has gone, save for a couple of original stars, including that notorious gopher who we see more of, in this. Chevy Chase chatting up some hotties, uses some rude, tasteless lines that kind of mirrors how this quality whole movie comes across. Dan Ackroyd, donning a real high squealy voice, comes across as really annoying, a pain in the butt, which is where he gets shot with an poison arrow. Watching Weekend At Bernie's Jonathan Silverman at the start, getting used, by a snotty heartlss bi..h, that has him running many yards to fetch her a soft drink, made me thirsty, which had me thinking later, this scene was pointless and unfunny, although I'll always remember it. Mason and some hotties are really the only things, this movie has going for it, oh, and that gopher. Off by many tees.

If you had to choose this to either be A) The worst movie of the 80s. B) The worst sequel. C) Worst sport movie or D) All the above. I choose D. I saw Caddyshack a year before I saw The first one, and that was back in 1992 when ABC decided to air this movie as part of their Saterday night movie night. To be honest here. This movie is not good as any of the movies that came out in 1988. The only good one I seen that year was Willow. The main problem was that it did not compare to the first. The cast in this one did not have same type of cemenstry that the cast in the first one had. First of all they replaced a red head Michael O Keef w a dark hair cool new comer Johathan Silverman, then they Replace Bill Murray who save the first one w another Ghost Buster Dan Aykoyd, then they replace Roddney Dangerfeld w an obnoxious Jackie Mason. And then Harold Ramis decides to give Allen Arkush the directing job and has not directed another movie since this one. The rest of this film was just slow and dry. Just remember that this was one of the first movie that Warner Brother put a new thing called DVD. The DVD cost $5.00 at Walmart and there no special feather. Just the movie in full screen along w chapter names.Food for thought. If its a nice and sunny day and its 70 degrees outside. Instead of spending $5.00 or or watching this movie. Why not go out the country club and treat you and your friends to a nice game of gold. Or if its a nice and sunny Sunday afternoon. Take the family to the miniature golf course and play a nice round of miniature golf

i actually almost liked this this movie.i thought it was witty and better written.the dialogue is better than the first one.there are also a few amusing moments.i even chuckled a few times.plus,i thought the characters were better and the movie had a better,more substantial story.having said all that,i still didn't think it was a great movie,but at it was watchable,even entertaining at times.the rating for this movie,on this site(3.4/10)is even less than half the rating of the first Caddyshack movie,and i am truly mystified.i will never see the appeal of that movie.as for Caddyshack II,not the best movie every made,but nowhere near the worst,either.my vote for this movie is a 5/10
