Director: Harold Ramis
Starring: Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Ted Knight, Michael O’Keefe
Rodney Dangerfield, Cindy Morgan, Tony Annunzio
Harold Ramis directed this comedy classic that gave us some of the funniest and most memorable scenes from Chase, Murray and Dangerfield. Knight is also standout in one of his only movie roles. Part of the movie is basically an average teen sex comedy, but, it also has some comedy scenes that are among the best ever put on film. Is that going too far? No, I don’t think it is.
The film is set at Bushwood Country Club, where Judge Smails (Knight) rules and has his hands full. Besides dealing with an obnoxious real estate baron (Dangerfield), a promiscuous niece and worrying about gophers destroying the course, he also has to decide who gets the coveted caddy scholarship. Danny (O’Keefe) is after it and seeks the advice of young eccentric millionaire, Ty Webb (Chase). Meanwhile, Bill Murray is sent to war with the gopher. In short, there is a lot going on at Bushwood and a lot of it has nothing to do with golf.
This is one of my favorite comedies (now that I think of it, so is Happy Gilmore. Maybe I just find golf, really funny.) If you are a Bill Murray, Chevy Chase or Rodney Dangerfield fan, and you have somehow let this comedy escape you, tee it up.
