Reception
The film was met with underwhelming reviews in its original release, with criticism towards the disorganized plot, though Dangerfield and Murray's comic performances were well received. Roger Ebert gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four and wrote, "Caddyshack feels more like a movie that was written rather loosely so that when the shooting began there was freedom—too much freedom—for it to wander off in all directions in search of comic inspiration." Nevertheless, the film has gained a cult following in the years after its release and has been positively reappraised by many film critics. The film holds a 73% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes, based on 59 (mostly contemporary) reviews, with an average rating of 6.56/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "Though unabashedly crude and juvenile, Caddyshack nevertheless scores with its classic slapstick, unforgettable characters, and endlessly quotable dialogue."
