Cast reception was negative. Chevy Chase, who reprises the role of Ty Webb, was rumored to have murmured to the film's director Allan Arkush during post-production, "Call me when you've dubbed the laugh-track," before walking away in disgust. Arkush, who also directed Rock 'n' Roll High School in 1979, begged Rodney Dangerfield to come in and save the script at the last minute. Upon reading it, Dangerfield asked, "What's with the ferris wheel?" and dropped it in the wastebasket.

Caddyshack (212 words)
Caddyshack is a 1980 US comedy film directed by Harold Ramis[?] and written by Brian Doyle-Murray and Ramis.
The film is a series of often crude episodic set pieces, a handful of subplots ending in a final golf match for the annual caddy scholarship during which Spackler dynamites the majority of the course trying to kill the gopher.
Caddyshack shares a similar feel to Animal House (1978), also written by Ramis and prduced a belated sequel in 1988, Caddyshack II.
Caddyshack Movie Review at Hollywood Video (1099 words)
While I personally don't think Caddyshack belongs in quite the same league as other comedies of its vintage (Animal House, Meatballs, Stripes and Ghostbusters being the high-ranking members of the pantheon), the new DVD edition is certainly a little piece of heaven for its most exuberant admirers.
In the case of Caddyshack, the "them" are the wealthy establishment-types who wield the real power at Bushwood Country Club; the "us" are the various caddies (Michael O'Keefe), groundskeepers (Bill Murray), and wealthy iconoclasts (Chase and Dangerfield) ready to upend the club's social order.
Whether or not Caddyshack lives up to Ramis' claim that the film is "like a bottle of wine" is left to the future generations who have no nostalgia for watching the film as a teenagers in the 1980s.
