CADDYSHACK
December 12, 2014  | By David Bianculli

IFC, 6:30 p.m. ET

 

This is an unintentional changing of the guard movie. Made in 1980, it stars Chevy Chase, the first member of Saturday Night Live to quit the show early to pursue a movie career, and features Bill Murray, his SNL replacement, who basically steals the movie out from under him. Chase indeed became a movie star for a few years, embodying the sardonic, self-satisfied smug humor of a new generation – but Murray, in time, proved the more durable movie star and much better actor. But here they are together, in a raucous golf comedy directed by Harold Ramis, and also starring Ted Knight and a vibrant Rodney Dangerfield. In a few weeks, Caddyshack will be 35 years old.
