Review of Caddyshack (1980) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 25 Nov 2017
The first-time director, Harold Ramis, can't hold it together: the picture lurches from style to style (including some ill-placed whimsy with a gopher puppet) and collapses somewhere between sitcom and sketch farce.
Male bonding remains the highest value of the Animal House comedies: women are trashed with a fierceness out of Mickey Spillane.
