An American comedy directed by Harold Ramis, starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray.
A young man works as a caddy at a golf course. Some players are holding a match for lots of money and the groundskeeper is hunting a gopher.
No, I will not be writing here about Caddyshack 2. It's a pile of crap. The stars I listed are the reason to watch this movie. Chevy Chase plays Ty Webb, who is into the metaphysics of golf and makes a sound like an effect from The Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman. Rodney Dangerfield plays Al Czervik, who is loud and extroverted. Bill Murray is the sub-human groundskeeper who literally smokes grass and uses explosives to hunt the gopher. His scene destroying flowers is priceless. Since nothing can be perfect, the version I have of this has some of the worst audio I have ever heard. Dialogue is almost non-existant on the waveform and music is so loud that it clips the meter limits. I know because I looked at it to make sure. More cropped images... My aunt once cropped a photo I took from 16:9 to 9:16. That's the type of people cropping movie images. I rate this good and should really get a new copy.
American comedies directed by Harold Ramis, Amy Heckerling and Jeremiah S. Chechik, starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo.
Mr. Griswold tries to show his family a good time on hollidays, but things never go as planned.
Another set! I have to take these back-logged movies down as efficiently as possible. This set, like Indiana Jones, peaked in the middle. I like European Vacation most because it was still funny and fresh at that point, but without Aunt Edna. I think Edna really crapped on the middle of the first film. My favorite scene from European was shopping for Italian clothes. The French waiter mocking the Griswolds was funny and, holding a personal grudge against a douche-hound myself, seeing one jump off the Eiffel Tower was cool. Chevy Chase is an alright actor, but I liked him more in Caddyshack (1980). He seems a little too goofy in Lampoon's Vacations, but has Beverly D'Angelo to play the "straight man" for his funny man act. What really bothers me about this set is switching actors for the children in every film. They seem to be teenagers in European and it almost works, but are back to small children in Christmas. I have not included the newer films because I just plain don't like them and won't watch them (yet). I rate this set o.k. and would recommend European over the others.
A comedy directed by Harold Ramis, starring Bill Murray.A news reporter lives the same day over and over.The premise was cool, but everything else turned out to be mediocre. It may be that I just don't get comedies. Whatever the reason, I'm rating this o.k.
A comedy directed by Harold Ramis, starring Brendan Fraser.A socially inept man makes a deal with the devil for 7 wishes. When he wishes for something It is magical at first, but the flaws of the situation overwhelm him.This is a remake of the 1967 film, which is a retelling of the legend of Faust. I don't usually go for comedies (or remakes for that matter), but there were some funny parts. This was a very light film compared to things that get good ratings on my site. It doesn't "pull you in" or make you feel that you are "in the story". Also, Brendan Fraser was chosen for the role because he's a pretty boy, not because of his skill at acting. Some of the wish scenarios were entertaining, so it wasn't a total loss. I'm rating it o.k.
