Average Rating:2.4/10

Consensus: Who's Your Caddy? is unoriginal, unfunny, and just plain forgettable.

Runtime: 1 hr 33 mins

Genre: Comedies

Hip-hop hilarity ensues when millionaire rap star C-Note (Outkast's Antwan Andre Patton) decides to apply for membership at the snooty Carolina golf and polo club where his dad once worked as a caddy. Club president Mr. Cummings (Jeffrey Jones) seethes with hostility but his nymphomaniac wife (Susan Ward) takes a shine to C-Note's buddy, Big Large (Faizon Love) and Cumming's portly rap loving son is thrilled, encouraging C-Note to "beat my dad." Romantic potential surfaces with a cute African American lawyer (Tamala Jones), hired by Cummings to find legal ways to deny C-Note membership. Later, Cummings employs a little person assassin named Big Willie Johnson (BAD SANTA's Tony Cox) to get rid of C-Note, "permanently." Devotees of cult golf comedy CADDYSHACK (1980) will feel most at ease over this bumpy course, especially when Garrett Morris--a compatriot of CADDYSHACK star Bill Murray in the original SNL-- shows up in a hilarious bit as a flashy reverend-lawyer. Before the big final golf match there's time for a bootylicious cook-out, a cruise in C-Note's pimped-up, no2-powered golf cart, some tough love with the moms (Jennifer Lewis); and lots of laughs via the obnoxious good humor of C-Note's crew: Dread (Finesse Mitchell); the most-sassy Lady G. (Sherri Shepherd); and the aforementioned (and very gaseous) Big Large. Aside from a late night strip club visit and some drug humor, this is fairly safe--if malodorous--fun for most of the family, with some good messages and even some real reverence for the game of golf.

A summer movie trifle that's somehow shamelessly derivative and genuinely amusing at the same time.

Where Caddy really shines is in the supporting comedy ensemble, which acts like a demented Greek chorus, tossing out bits of incongruous dialogue that hit the funny bone more often than not.

C-Note is essentially a one-note character. And that note is flat.

Wake me when urban films stop using "get back at whitey" as a comedic device.

If this demeaning movie had been made by mainstream Hollywood, it would be courting charges of racism.

Who's Your Caddy? is the sort of film Homer Simpson might watch, perhaps on a triple bill with Hail to the Chimp and The School of Hard Knockers.

There are two clues that this movie will be worthless: 1) The premise is old and tired; 2) It's called 'Who's Your Caddy?'

Ultimately this is utterly forgettable stuff, not even managing to fulfill its mandate of mindless summer fun.

The players appear to be having a good time, though the situation is too sitcom-familiar to be funny.

A subpar attempt to bring a hip-hop twist to Caddyshack-style slobs-versus-snobs comedy.

Replays the same underdog outsiders-vs.-Establishment snobs scenario found in a million earlier stories about hillbillies in Beverly Hills, nerds on campus, Marx Brothers at the opera and so on.

The snooty country club is one of the easiest institutions to lampoon. So why does Who’s Your Caddy? make us feel almost sorry for the power elite?

I don't know how screenwriters could turn out this rip-off of "Caddyshack" and not get sued.
