Plot

When hip-hop star Christopher "C-Note" Hawkins (Big Boi) is denied membership into an exclusive Carolina Pines Country Club, he comes up with a cunning plan that will oblige the country club to allow his acceptance. C-Note purchases property that contains land from the 17th hole and bribes the country club for a membership in exchange for his land. The rest of the movie's plot revolves around the club members and their efforts to get C-Note kicked out, while he disrupts the club's atmosphere.

Reception

Critical reaction

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 6% based on 34 reviews with the consensus stating: "A juvenile, uninspired retread of Caddyshack, Who's Your Caddy? is unoriginal, unfunny, and just plain forgettable."[3] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 18 out of 100, based on reviews from 19 critics, indicating "Overwhelming dislike".

The film was nominated for a Golden Raspberry award for Worst Remake or Rip-off, but lost to I Know Who Killed Me.

Former U.S. president Bill Clinton "loves" the film.[4][5] In August 2016, Bradley Cooper and Todd Phillips made guest appearances on The Late Late Show with James Corden where they discussed having dinner with Clinton in Thailand while filming The Hangover Part II. The two guests stated that during their dinner with the former president, Clinton stated that he loves comedies and his favorite comedy is Who's Your Caddy?[6]

Box office

The movie grossed US$2.76 million in its first week at the box office, debuting in the number 10 spot and performed poorly at the box office earning only $5,713,425 in total.[1]
