Caddyshack
I realize this is a campy, cult classic movie from the 1980s and I added it to the week as a way to kind of lighten things up.
After having watched the movie:
(Possible spoilers below)
I was a little worried that the movie wouldn't be funny, because I had expected the majority of the comedy from the movie to have been parodied in other comedies made after the fact. So I was pleasantly surprised when I realized I hadn't seen or heard most of the punch lines from other movies.
When I read about all the things that were improvised for the movie, as a Script Supervisor it makes me cringe a little. I mean, how do you match and takes notes of something an actor completely makes up and has gone completely off script for. Yikes! You know, if I have to Script Sup on a show like this I'd want to throw in the binder. That being said though, I'd be a little excited about working on a fun comedy like that just in a different department. For instance, the scene when Bill Murray went on a little rant about Cinderella was completely improvised and done in one take.
Final thoughts: The movie has so many memorable lines like, "So I've got that going for me, which is nice," and "Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now about to become the Masters Champion. It's like a mirac... it's in the hole, it's in the hole. It's also no surprise to me that the movie remains to be a favorite among many golfers. If you're more like me, and have only golfed once it's still fun and doesn't require any real golf knowledge.
