80sfilms

I was WAY too young to enjoy Caddyshack when it first came out, but I have to say that even when I saw it later in life, it still didn’t quite do it for me.

Maybe it’s a “guy” film, but I just don’t see the humor in the overt crudeness and slapstickiness of it all.

And don’t get me wrong, because I adore Chevy Chase and Bill Murray with a passion–I just could never get past the whole gopher thing, which was the running joke of the film.

Caddyshack, which also starred Rodney Dangerfield (the King of slapstick), was and still is considered a classic by many avid golfers, fans and film buffs.

I know I’m in the minority on this one–even in my own home I’m outnumbered because my husband thinks the film is hilarious, while I don’t find it amusing in the slightest.

To each their own, I say.
