Ladybugs (1992)

A True Classic

[2 January 2002]

If you have seen and disliked either Caddyshack or Back to School you'll truely hate this movie. But if your a fan of either of them this is a cult classic. Jonathan Brandis and Jackee are both great in this, and Rodney is at his best. Its charming, cute yet mixes enough dirty jokes in their to keep both preteens and teens interested. I highly recommend it to anyone.

The Diceman Cometh (1989 TV Special)

Awesome movie

[10/10 · 22 December 2001]

This masterpiece can only be fully enjoyed by one who enjoys dirty jokes about sex. But if you do this is quite possibly the funniest thing you'll ever see. His rhymes and his storys, along with his 12 cartons of cigarettes will keep you laughing. Do your self a favor and go out and rent this as soon as possible, you'll laugh your butt off after the first minute.

Match Game PM (1975–1981)

Quite possibly the best game show ever

[10 December 2001]

Matchgame PM is quite possibly the best game show ever. Gene's informal hosting along with the six panelists refusal to do anything that could be considered serious makes it so fun to watch. It takes you straight back to the seventies with wacky outfits, onstage smoking, huge glasses and words that were only used in that decade. The shows real strength lies in the sentences that the shows producers came up with. While some of them have definative answers and others do not, all are funny yet still give you some chance of matching a member of the panel. If you've never seen Matchgame PM and you get the Gameshow Network I would advise you to give it a try, I'm sure you'll love it.

Let's Make a Deal (1963–2003)

It's a classic

[10 December 2001]

If you have The Game Show Network you should make it a point to check out Let's Make a Deal. The show can be nerve-racking, but is fun to see all the prizes everyone wins. Host Monte Hall and the late announcer Jay Stewart (who plays a larger role than most game show announcers) have great sense of humors and make the show very enjoyable to watch. Besides, its fun to see how stupid some of the costumes the contestants wear are. All in all, Let's Make a Deal is a classic game show well worth watching.

Fletch Lives (1989)

Funny Movie

[22 July 2001]

Being a fan of the first Fletch but having never seen this one, I went against most of the user comments on this website and rented it anyways. I found it hilarious, as intriguing as the first, yet with a faster pace and more comical additions. While the beginning was lame, the rest of the movie was quite interesting, and the ending was much better than the original Fletch. Bottom line: If you like the original Fletch, or if you like 80's comedy, give Fletch Lives a try, its a much better movie than its made out to be, and like someone mentioned, marked Chevy Chase's last good movie.

Fletch (1985)

Better than it Looks

[10/10 · 9 July 2001]

Fletch might look like an average 80's movie but its actually quite good, and is supposedly being remade and will debut in 2002.

Providing you follow the plotline all the way through Irwin Fletcher will keep you entertained throughout the movie on why Alan Stanwyk wants to be killed, and who is controlling the drug traffic at the beach. Fletch is a must see, especially if you're a die-hard Chevy Chase fan. Its also interesting to see Tim Matheson in a roll other than Animal House.

Schlitz on Mount Washington (1935)

Mt. Washington skiing classic

[10/10 · 27 May 2001]

A classic 1935 skiing movie where famous skier Christopher Young (Dr Wolfgang Schlitz) hikes up Mount Washington (to Tuckerman Ravine). While old, Schlitz on Mount Washington is a great 22 minute movie full of the first extreme skiing, comic pranks and remarkable spring skiing Tuckerman Ravine that is sure to entertain the ski fanatic and the classic film buff alike.

Caddyshack II (1988)

Mediocre

[2/10 · 12 August 2000]

Caddyshack Two is a good movie by itself but compared to the original it cant stack up. Robert Stack is a horrible replacement for Ted Knight and Jackie Mason, while funny just cant compete with Rodney Dangerfield. Ty Webb is funny, being the only character from the original. Most of the other characters in the movie lack the punch of the original (Henry Wilcoxon for example) except for the hystericly funny lawyer Peter Blunt, being played by Randy Quaid. Every line he says reminds me of the originals humor, especially the scene at his office (I don't go in for law suits or motions. I find out where you live and come to your house and beat down your door with a f***ing baseball bat, make a bonfire with the chippindale,maybe roast that golden retriever (arff arff arff) then eat it. And then I'm comin' upstairs junior, and I'm grabbing you by your brooks brothers pjs, and cramming your brand new BMW up your tight a**! Do we have an understanding?). Offsetting his small role however, is Dan Acroyd, who is obviously no replacement for Bill Murray. His voice is beyond irritating and everything he does isnt even funny, its just stupid. Overall Caddyshack II is a good movie, but in comparison to the awesome original it just cant cut it.

Caddyshack (1980)

Great comedy

[10/10 · 12 August 2000]

Caddyshack is definitely a great comedy, though its sequel is only mediocre. Ted Knight is at his best here, soundly better than Robert Stack of the second. Rodney Dangerfield is also hysterically funny here, with every line he says being awesome. Chevy Chase's character Ty Webb is funny, if not as much as the others but still a worthy performance. I'm surprised to see no one mentioned Henry Wilcoxon as the Bishop as a stand out. This is one of his last roles, yet all of his scenes are funny, especially his golf game of epic "biblical" proportions. His laugh is priceless and his eyebrows go with his character. Danny Noonan is the only boring element of the movie, but still better than the most exciting characters in other movies. The man who steals the show however is Bill Murray. Every line he says leaves you laughing for hours and his whole performance is amazing. If you enjoy good comedy, make it a point to see Caddyshack.
