Caddyshack
Caddyshack is a 1980 American sports comedy film directed by Harold Ramis, written by Brian Doyle-Murray, Ramis and Douglas Kenney, and starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight (his final film role), Michael O'Keefe and Bill Murray with supporting roles by Sarah Holcomb, Cindy Morgan, and Doyle-Murray. It tells the story of a caddie, vying for a caddie scholarship, who becomes involved in a feud on the links between one of the country club's founders and a nouveau riche guest. A subplot involves a greenskeeper who uses extreme methods against an elusive gopher.
Caddyshack was the directorial debut of Ramis and the film boosted the career of Dangerfield, who was then known primarily as a stand-up comedian. Grossing nearly $40 million at the domestic box office (the 17th-highest of the year), it was the first of a series of similar "slob vs. snob" comedies.
The film has a cult following and was described by ESPN as "perhaps the funniest sports movie ever made."
A sequel titled Caddyshack II (1988) followed, although only Chase reprised his role; it was panned by critics and a box-office bomb.
High school student Danny Noonan is anxious about his future. He hopes to go to college to avoid being stuck in a menial job with no prospects, but he is struggling to financially cover tuition.
Danny works as a caddie at the exclusive Bushwood country club catering to affluent clientele. Though he usually caddies for Ty Webb, a talented golfer and the free-spirited playboy son of the club's co-founder, Danny volunteers to caddie for the arrogant Judge Elihu Smails, the club's other co-founder and director of the caddie college scholarship program.
Meanwhile, mentally unstable greenskeeper Carl Spackler is tasked with exterminating a destructive gopher driven onto the course by work on the adjacent property development owned by Al Czervik. The fiery and eccentric nouveau riche developer attends the club as a guest, but his antics quickly annoy Smails.
After one encounter, Smails angrily throws his putter, injuring an elderly guest. Danny takes the blame for the incident to earn points with Smails. At Bushwood's annual Fourth of July banquet, Danny and his girlfriend Maggie work as wait staff. He becomes attracted to Smails's promiscuous niece Lacey Underall, who is visiting for the summer; she and Webb have a brief encounter.
