At once fittingly irreverent while falling into some genre conventions, this is an enjoyable (and ultimately moving) biopic of a very funny man. Oh, and the guy was right... Caddyshack isn't that great a movie!

What a cast! And what a tragically funny story. Highly enjoyed that and to think who's careers all got kick-started by that paper... pretty amazing.

The movie in starting 1/2 hour like the one what Richard Branson did along with his friends in the UK but the movie works like a amazing comedy the way they had their salary and alll its amazing one .....but not for real life as you f*** up every relation based on true love and dignity which is not present at all in the film.

I cancelled watching this after 40 minutes. It just doesn't click with me, and I don't find it funny. Interestingly unlike some other commentors, I felt the actors were pretty horrible. I must admit, however, I did expect more something like National Lampoon's whatever special movie. Rating: 3/10
