NO.

Comedy is sooo hard. And I don't mean it in the type of "This stone sure is hard, I smashed it to Gary Busey's crotch and it didn't break"-type of hard, I mean it's just plain hard to write comedy. Why? People have different tastes. That sentiment is true in essentially all things about life, but in the movie industry, that sentence most of all fits comedy. Someone might've laughed at my stupid Gary Busey's crotch-line, and some didn't (to the latter group, I congratulate you). Hence, someone thinks that movies like Blast From The Past are funny and a movie like South Park isn't. But as long as I live, I will know one thing. Not a single person on earth who doesn't suffer from some sort of brain disorder, can actually look at Who's Your Caddy and laugh. I'm a very tolerant person when it comes to humor. I understand if someone laughed at Meet The Spartans, I really do. But no soul on earth could laugh at the jokes in this movie. If you wish to call them jokes. Who's Your Caddy is essentially a movie that makes you question the mental health of all the people involved in it's making.

What is it about then? It's about a black rapper and his posse (that has a fat black man, of course). But just having the main characters isn't enough to make a movie. So what did the writers do? Did they make fun of, for example, the music industry of our time, a topic that has been begging to be sucked dry by comedies, but no one has even dared to try? No. Guess what they did instead. Just guess. They made this black rapper and his posse (including the fat man) drive into a country club, for no reason, and apply for membership. The club is ran by an evil racist man (a real life childlover I may add) who doesn't want them to join the club. So the rest of the movie is the rapper posse trying to join the country club. There are several problems in this premise. First of all, WHY THE HELL ARE BLACK RAPPERS JOINING A COUNTRY CLUB!!? I am not saying that black rappers don't enjoy golf or anything, but why do they have to join a country club? It's never explained in the entire movie. The posse just sort of comes in and wants to join, and doesn't leave until it has it's way. Moviewriting 101: ALWAYS GIVE YOUR CHARACTERS MOTIVES. When the viewer doesn't know why something is happening and the reason is never revealed, why should the viewer care? That's right, s/he shouldn't. Now, to the second problem of the premise. It's about golf. Caddyshack drained almost all the humour out of the sport, and Adam Sandler's horrible Happy Gilmore certainly did the rest of the work back in the 90s, so you can't really take any original humour out of it. The third thing is that... well, this is poorly written. Throughout. As previously noted, no motives, no character development, bad jokes as well. Honestly, it's just a hack job. Horrible.

Now, I honestly hate this movie. It was made as a cash-in (what it was meant to cash-in on, I have no idea), and contains no soul. This movie could be referred to the anti-christ of modern comedy. It's a lowpoint all around really. Unmotivated, ungood and most of all, unfunny. It made me cringe.
