Hollywoodnews.com: HollywoodNews.com stays on top of the latest DVD and Blu-ray releases so you know which films are worth your time and money. This week, we review:
“Caddyshack” (Blu-ray)
“Hey everybody! We’re all going to get laid!”
“Caddyshack” is a bona fide classic, a beloved river of rude one-liners from a dream team of comedians that has cemented its spot atop Hollywood’s movie mountain.
Is it as funny as people remember? Probably not. You could argue that Rodney Dangerfield is funnier in “Back to School.” Chevy Chase definitely is funnier in “Fletch” and the first “Vacation.” And Bill Murray is ten times funnier in “Ghostbusters” and “Groundhog Day.” You get the idea. But together — while coupled with the late, great Ted Knight and a motley crew of drunken hooligans — this ensemble carried “Caddyshack” to another level. And over the years, it stayed there.

Chicago – The best comedies are just as funny decades after they were released as the day they come out. Watch “Blazing Saddles” for the perfect example. Or “Young Frankenstein”. Or even “Caddyshack,” a film that’s not in the league of the absolute best but is still hysterically funny three decades after its release, a fact made clear by a fantastic Blu-ray release hitting stores just in time for Father’s Day.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
What more could possibly be written about “Caddyshack” that hasn’t already been since its 1980 release? The film is the perfect example of the right group of people getting together at just the right time and finding comedy gold in their chemistry. Veterans like Ted Knight and Rodney Dangerfield blending with the new stars of the day like Chevy Chase and Bill Murray with a crew of talented young actors and actresses. “Caddyshack” is proof that...
