The gopher gets the memory, and the caddy's scholarship is the only life.

The review

Most of what people remember is the club. The rich members are the joke, and a groundskeeper is at war with a gopher. The noise is the point for a lot of viewers. Under it, the only plot that is a life belongs to a caddy who wants a college scholarship.

Keep that in the room if you put it on. The club does not improve. Nobody is asked to leave a gag unsaid. A scholarship is a door with a year on the other side, which is more than a rodent can be. Fine for a loud night with adults who already like this kind of mess. Thin if a kid is starting to think about how to get somewhere.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Casper

50 instead of 39

Casper is still a comedy film, and it scores 50 instead of 39. What you gain is household: A bereaved father and daughter.

A caddy's scholarship is the only plot that is a life.
2
Household
No parent or child carries this; the club is the setting.
3
Piety
The rich are a punchline, and nobody is asked to stop.
4
Courage
The caddy's real risk is a future, not the war with a gopher.
3
Republic
A private club is the world, and the members owe it nothing shown.
4
Temperance
The gags keep coming, and the film does not put them down.
5
Truth
The scholarship is a real stake hiding under the club jokes.
4

If the caddy gets out, the club itself is not left better.

Deliverance

They wanted a wild weekend, and the film never gives that weekend back.

The review

Four suburban men wanted a last wild weekend on a river a dam is about to bury. They got a trip they were not built for. The river was the point, and then it was not. One of them is changed in a way the film does not heal. That refusal to tidy the ending is the honest part.

Adult. Do not describe the assault, and do not make a contest out of who can sit through it. The dam was already going to spend the river for people who do not live on it. One of them carries that change home. If someone in the room goes quiet, stay with that, not the canoe.
