Critics Consensus

Though unabashedly crude and juvenile, Caddyshack nevertheless scores with its classic slapstick, unforgettable characters, and endlessly quotable dialogue.

"Caddyshack" is an above average example of the over-inflated B-movie gag film genre because of its expert performances. Go to Full Review Judy Stone San Francisco Chronicle 07/28/2020

The humor in this film is very high-yield. I laughed and laughed, even when I probably shouldn't have. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 01/14/2025

It's Rodney Dangerfield who rules this show, as his delivery of some truly hilarious lines is spot-on. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 08/19/2023
Essentially 'Animal House' on the links, it's neither as raucous nor as outrageous as that definitive college comedy but it has the same rebellious spirit and a great cast of comedy legends showing the young co-stars how it's done. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 06/25/2023
4/5

The gopher in this movie is one of the most stand out parts, even though it feels more akin to something that would be in a children's movie, and Bill Murray is amazing with it. Also, Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase both have that swagger to them, even though they both have insanely different versions of swag.
