Jackie Mason is the best thing going in this otherwise negligible sequel to the already-dubious pleasures of Caddyshack. Between the decadent and often senseless jokes, Mason plays a millionaire whose daughter wants to be part of an upper-crust society he has no use for. Directed by Allan Arkush (Rock 'n' Roll High School), there is some snap to the production; but the concept and script run out of juice early on. --Tom Keogh

 Disappointing in all regards November 8, 2008
As a stand-alone film, this comedy sucks. As a sequel to a classic, its a cardinal sin. Nothing seems inspired. For shame, Harold Ramis. Its one of those "trying to rehash a classic with bigger concepts and weaker execution" kind of sequels. The first half has some laughs. Jackie Mason gets a few very SMALL chuckles as the Rodney Dangerfield-replacement, but he's likable. Chevy Chase is great, but he can only do so much. His "Ty Webb" character is timeless, but half way through, he's just on autopilot. He famously despises this movie. I wish Robert Stack could have been used better. "Airplane" shows the man is a great deadpan comedian. But the biggest letdown is Dan Aykroyd as the "Carl Spackler"-lite. God, he is unfunny in this. And his brief reunion with SNL castmate Chevy is sad. And I really love Aykroyd's career! The gopher is awful. They consciously tried to make him cheesy in this one. This film lacks the cerebral-juvenile dynamic of the first. The reason the first was so compelling was that it was a small story about a caddy that just happened to be overshadowed by the great characters and subplots. This one tries to focus on the wacky characters and force a lame dramatic element. Even Kenny Loggins returns with the hilariously cheesy, but depressingly uninspired title song. Overall waste of good talented comedians.

Why would the exploding golf ball blow up when it apparently hits the melon and when it is struck by a putter, but not when it is hit by a titanium driver? Why would a gopher want to have sex with a poodle? You'll be asking yourself questions like these and will curse losing 99 minutes you can never get back if you watch this total waste of a movie. Worst...Movie...Ever.
Only if you're a collector and want to finish your Caddyshack series! May 24, 2007

Seriously, I hadn't seen this movie for quite some time until a month ago. I bought it, thinking that it would be as funny as I remembered it 10 years ago. I was wrong. Everything falls short in this movie, except for Randy Quaid, who's a scene stealer. I'd only recommend this one for those people who collect movies and want to finish off their Caddyshack collection.
 NOT "ON PAR" WITH THE ORIGINAL! NOT EVEN CLOSE! May 13, 2007

I remember the first time I saw this uneven and mostly unfunny sequel to the classic original. I felt violated and wanted redemption for the injustice that was bestrode upon me! I must admit that I have mellowed over the years on this movie and I feel it does have a few moments. Randy Quaid is by far the best thing in this movie and his negotiation scene about the(The Peter Blunt System)zoning laws is hysterical. Jackie Mason is no Dangerfield,but he does have a few moments. This is not essential viewing by any means, but if you have seen the original as many times as I have, you may be able to find some redeeming moments in this luke warm sequel.

...Chevy Chase is the ONLY person from the original CADDYSHACK to come back. If you told him that NOTHING BUT TROUBLE 2 was to begin shooting tomorrow, he'd be setting his alarm and warming up his mugging in the mirror before hitting the sack.
The script for CADDYSHACK 2 was so horrible that Rodney Dangerfield refused to do it. I remember reading at the time that the studio was finally exercizing a clause in Rodney's original contract that stipulated that he appear in the sequel since the first film made a lot of money and, rather than appear in this wretched sequel, he opted to fight it out in court.
(Even the original cast of ROMANCING THE STONE collectively couldn't fight their way out of their stinking follow-up, THE JEWEL OF THE NILE--and even danced in the music video!).
But Rodney prevailed. Take away Rodney, Bill Murray (who sounds like he literally improvised his entire role the first time around), and the late Ted Knight, and all you've got is the gopher. The gopher, a good Kenny Loggins song (wasted), and a lot of mindless schtick that wouldn't have made it through the first writers' meeting for "The Carol Burnett Show."
Robert Stack has too much class and testosterone to be a stuffy snob. Dan Aykroyd humiliates himself and gives Chevy Chase a run for the I'll-Do-Anything-For-A-Buck award. And Jackie Mason...has this guy ever been funny? I laughed at his Ed Sullivan impersonation in 1975 or so...but what's he done?
CADDYSHACK played like a haphazard but hilarious comedy by young upstarts storming Hollywood.
CADDYSHACK 2 plays like grandma and grandpa would like to take a whack at this funny flickers business as well.
Ugh.
