Kate F @RT69708689 Jun 4 At the beginning of I’m Chevy Chase, he claims the interviewer couldn’t understand who he was and is. It’s simple, he’s an utter and complete asshole. After that, I couldn’t be bothered to watch. Chevy’s approach to humor was pretty much falling down. Watching him babble on in the nastiest of ways wasn’t worth my time.

But in this case, go read the 2007 authorized biography by the same name instead. It’s not the film was bad. Or that Chevy’s career is not worthy. It’s that the filmmakers dropped the ball. Chevy Chase is one of the greats. However the film was created (written?) by people who seemed to be trying to ruin Chase’s reputation. He’s a complicated person. True. Chevy mentions that in the very beginning. However they seem to be trying to sensationalize Chevy’s worst characteristics. The interviews with Chevy are hard to watch. One negative question after another. They put him on the defensive at every turn. It’s surprising that Chase let the documentary get produced (assuming he had any say). Highlights included Chase’s early life and career and interviews with all the actors who loved working with him and who were in awe of his talent. A-plus for Chevy. F for the writers and horrible interviewer.

Alas, there’s just a very tiny bit of hyperbole and saccharine to not hit four stars. I was most curious about his demons - less about his career arc - so that’s my bias. Still a good watch.

See more Mike P @RT09890132 Feb 5 Middling, mildly interesting biopic and documentary about the controversial and cancelled SNL star...(This is well made, but the subject matter isn't that stunning to me)...And the thesis is sorta, "We all know he's a jerk. Is that good, bad or indifferent?". I'm kind of in the second category. I guess... I did love him once upon a time in the 70s and 80s in Foul Play, Fletch, Caddyshack and the Vacation movies. But the collective weight of all these scandals over the years makes it hard to feel anything but animosity for him at this point. Just goes to prove: you can put up a front for awhile; for decades even; but eventually the truth catches up to you...

There was a lot I didn't expect, and I ended up respecting Chase more. See more Read all reviews
