Director: Harold Ramis
Cast: Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray
Defining moment: Unbalanced groundsman Bill Murray’s ongoing, increasingly militarised battle with rodents provides many gopher-based guffaws.
The Bushwood Country Club is either one of Florida’s more exclusive and prestigious golf clubs or ‘a crummy snobatorium’. The latter description is courtesy of Rodney Dangerfield, the wisecracking, cigar-chomping, ogling vulgarian who horrifies the patrician stiffs running the Bushwood club when he decides to join. For those unbelievers who maintain golf is boring, this exquisitely crass film offers as a riposte Chevy Chase’s womanizing zen golfer, Bill Murray’s incoherent, gopher-hating groundsman and Dangerfield’s endless one-liners. Plus, some valuable advice on how to clear a full swimming pool with an unwrapped chocolate bar. Edward Lawrenson
