Caddyshack: The Inside Story

Pretty decent documentary, but the whole smug attitude about the drugs and culture of the seventies is kind of boring after a while. The actors basically said they can't share what "really happened" but then they do share some things... Why even bring up that you can't talk about something and then half-talk it... There are still drugs on movie sets today, but it's just not as cool, I guess... Had this SNL/SCTV generation done less drugs, their reign would have lasted more than six or seven years...

Michael O'Keefe seems fun and loose, but for many years he hated everything about Caddyshack, and felt it ruined his entire career, a grouchy Buddhist actor but he's fun here, as is Cindy Morgan, and Hamilton Mitchell, who I have interviewed, RIP...

The one thing I disagree with is that Michael's central part stopped being central once the big four, Chevy, Bill, Rodney and Ted became the stars... No matter what, Danny Noonan is STILL the main character, and he has plenty of screen-time... It's HIS story from beginning to end...

Anyhow, these docs should either tell everything or just talk about filmmaking instead of letting us know we missed out on some big secret... it gets old.
