Finally, Hollywood gets golf right with Who's Your Caddy?

Has anyone seen trailers for Who’s Your Caddy yet? I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to go. Finally, an urban Caddyshack for the IPod generation.

From the looks of the preview, it seems like it uses the fresh premise of: Black guy for some reason finds himself out of place in white man’s world - white man looks disgusted at black man’s unwillingness to fit in.

They haven’t given away the ending, but my guess is the white man realizes black people are in fact good people, even if they are late to their tee times and put rims on their golf cart. The last scene is probably a dance number with all the gray-hairs in a ball room shaking their booties to “Hot in Herre".

It stars Outkast’s Big Boi. They probably went after Chris Tucker (busy with Rush Hour 3) and Chris Rock (couldn’t afford him) and settled on a rapper with street cred but little acting experience and a small price tag. Then there’s an overweight sidekick, who is introduced in the trailer by ripping a gigantic fart to the dismay of onlookers.

This must be exactly what Mack Daddy Caddy was going for…

I’ve been waiting to see the effect Tiger Woods has installed on minorities and golf, and it looks like a decade later we’ve been blessed with Who’s Your Caddy. Way to hit it on the nose, Hollywood.

I'm believing that you're at least as tongue-in-cheek as MN was in his Roid Rage blog. This one looks like it has a chance to out-gross The Foursome, but only by a wee bit. In fact, other than the diving board guy hit in the nuts scene, I didn't see much golf going on. That's the key to a golf movie: have good golf in it while still making it entertaining/funny.

You will learn nothing about golf from viewing The Foursome or Who's Your Caddy.

BTW, BT and RonMon, you two are invited to come to the match between Nessie and me...and bring your sticks, the weather is lovely here this time of year.
