Caddyshack

1980 · 98 min

A loose, joke-packed romp with slapstick chaos and memorable oddballs, easy to dip into and hard not to grin at.

Tagline: Some people just don't belong.
Overview: At an exclusive country club, an ambitious young caddy, Danny Noonan, eagerly pursues a caddy scholarship in hopes of attending college and, in turn, avoiding a job at the lumber yard. In order to succeed, he must first win the favour of the elitist Judge Smails, and then the caddy golf tournament which Smails sponsors.
