What happens

Caddyshack II is a 1988 American sports comedy film and a sequel to the 1980 film Caddyshack. Directed by Allan Arkush and written by Harold Ramis (who co-wrote and directed the original Caddyshack) and PJ Torokvei, it stars Jackie Mason, Robert Stack, Dyan Cannon, Dina Merrill, Jonathan Silverman, Brian McNamara, Marsha Warfield, Paul Bartel and Randy Quaid with special appearances by Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd. It tells the story of wealthy and widowed real estate developer Jack Hartounian who goes up against Bushwood Country Club's snobbish president Chandler Young in a golfing tournament. While the writing of the film is officially credited to Ramis and Torokvei, the first-draft script by Ramis and Torokvei was rewritten by other uncredited writers. Caddyshack II was released by Warner Bros. on July 22, 1988. The sequel was panned by critics and is considered one of the worst sequels of all time. However, Kenny Loggins' "Nobody's Fool" which was used as the film's theme song was a chart success where it hit #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
