Rodney Dangerfield plays Monty Capuletti, a baby photographer(!) who finds himself under a lot of pressure between his daughter's(Jennifer Jason Leigh) wedding, future in-laws, and meddlesome mother-in-law, who dies, but makes a provision in her will that Monty must reform his bad habits, or inherit none of her fortune. Film then details his efforts at doing so, and the "help" from his pal, played by Joe Pesci.
Rodney is a funny, self-mocking comedian, but his character(and film itself) is thoroughly unappealing, and his antics rarely funny. Double-twist ending may come as a surprise, but that doesn't necessarily make it a good thing! Stick with "Caddyshack" instead.
