Good stuff. Yes, you can understand him.
Here is the deal while Caddyshack is considered an iconic film of the time, it underutilized many of the comedic actors. It is clever in some parts but as subtle as a hammer in others. As a big name vehicle it received a greater push in the market. In comparison easy money boarders on an independant no-name film, it has subtilties that are on another level. Here also remains a great treatment of the life of the NY-NJ uban suburban existance and a truly fine commentary on the lives of Italian Americans that may be lost on outsiders. Perhaps it is like an inside joke that if you don't really know the context it just sdoesn't work for you.
The best visual is when they go to pick up the wedding cake and the store sign says "Bakery & Scungili" which if it needs to be explained is lost in translation. As a former NYer with ties to the Italian American community I would have to say Easy Money hands down and I have cousins that will echo that sentiment.
Best hour and a half of non-work work I've done in years... Thanks.Not a movie exactly, but this collection of classic film bloopers is too good not to pass on.

Easy Money was a waste of Dangerfield. Him as an I talian. It stretches the bounds of believability for certain. :rofl:
"Ed Wood." Martin Landau was great as Bela Lugosi.
