CADDYSHACK 2

US, 1988, 98 minutes, Colour.
Jackie Mason, Robert Stack, Dina Merrill, Dyan Cannon, Jonathan Silverman, Randy Quaid, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd.
Directed by Alan Arkush.

Caddyshack 2 is a sequel to the original - or rather a remake. This time Jackie Mason plays the outsider who enters into high society and changes everyone. Rodney Dangerfield did this in the original.

The film has a very strong cast led by Robert Stack, Dyan Cannon. Chevy Chase has a guest role - but appears quite frequently in the film. Dan Aykroyd, on the other hand, gives an oddball guest role.

The film is a satire about golf - but also a satire about class distinctions in the United States, elitism, the effect of the outsider - and, of course, the winning out of true love.
