JohnHowardReid As just about everyone agrees, this is a curate's egg of a movie, namely good in spots. The problem, of course, lies with the script which is neither as funny nor as inventive as the writers, the players, the producers and the director so very obviously think it is. I also blame the editor. The Warner Brothers DVD runs 99 minutes and should have been cut down to 89 minutes at the very, very most. The sticking point, of course, is which scenes to cut. For a starter, we have far too many unsympathetic characters and these are made up of just about the entire male cast! And personally, I didn't take to the animation sequences with Mr. Gopher either. They were well staged, but I didn't think they were particularly amusing. When you are editing a movie – and I have enjoyed some experience in this field – you have to ask yourself, "Is this scene really necessary?" Preferably, each scene should advance the plot or reveal some aspect of the characters, and yet be amusing, gripping or suspenseful in itself. This simple dictum was not followed in this film. I'm sure the producers – and there are three of them, would you believe – said to themselves, "Everyone who saw the original Caddyshack will want to see this one too, so it really doesn't matter!" Available on an excellent Warner Brothers DVD. Incidentally, the short Bugs Bunny sequence is missing from this DVD.

videorama-759-859391 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.

Kristine After all seeing the very funny movie Caddyshack, I was looking forward to seeing the sequel, but I have to admit that I was nervous because I heard a lot of bad things about Caddyshack 2. I was also reading on the internet how this was voted one of the worst sequels of all time, which is sad. But I wanted to see the movie still, just at least see if it was really that bad. So I rented it anyways and watched it the other night. Now, I agree, this movie is really stupid, but it's a funny stupid that's very light hearted and has a few really good laughs. I know Randy Quaid can be annoying at times, but he really steals the show and his comedy is outrageous. I didn't like how they were trying to replace certain characters from the first film, but I let go and ended up laughing and having fun with Caddyshack 2.Jack Hartounian is what you might call, "New Money", but he's a very successful in construction and is worth millions. He's a bit out there, personality wise, and dresses a bit crazy, but knows the hard work of the common man. His daughter, Katie, begs him to join a golf club so she could be with the upper class elite. But he makes a fool of himself and wants revenge on those who made fun of him. He buys the club and turns it into an amusement park! But this doesn't stop the elite from trying to tear him down.Caddyshack 2 is stupid at times, like the gofer, they took the joke a little far. And Dan Aykrod's character, I love Dan so much, but it's like he took on Bill Murray's character from the first Caddyshack and made Dan really annoying. Jackie Mason is a bit out there and can't stand up to Rodney Dangerfield. But Caddyshack 2 still has a few good laughs, I mean, if you couldn't laugh at Randy Quaid and how he delivered his lines, check your funny bones. Caddyshack 2 is a silly movie, but it's all in good fun, but if we are just going to keep comparing to the first movie, then you're not going to have a good time.5/10

sparkitupman Some of you people out there are just pathetic. You give this movie a bad review because it is not quite as good as Caddyshack. This is a great movie and no sequel could stand up to the original but thats no reason to give it a bad review. This movie and is very entertaining and I think the cast was great, not as good as original cast but adding a few very funny actors including Robert Stack, Dyan Cannon, Randy Quaid, Jackie Mason, Jonathan Silverman and Jessica Lundy just to name a few and all these actors did a very good job, especially Robert Stack who was hilarious as Chandler Young. Sure Rodney Dangerfield was not in this movie but it did not need him, and again some people prefer to put down this movie just because he appeared in the original and not this one. Jackie Mason is great as the main character and fills in nicely. If you loved Caddyshack and you don't enjoy this movie something is just wrong with you, as sequels go this is one of the better made movies. To everyone out there who gave this a bad review you are mental, I suggest you seek help.
