From his Saturday Night Live beginnings to a string of classic comedies, Chevy Chase has always had huge comedic range. He is also a complex and contradictory human being. Featuring revealing interviews with those closest to him, this documentary digs into the talent, flaws, and humanity that shaped an icon.

Extremely funny people often come from tortured childhoods, a dynamic the doc explores with care. But mostly Zenovich lets Chase squirm under the camera’s gaze and act like himself.

Zenovich isn’t doing a harangue against “cancel culture.” She’s asking, in a far more ingenuous and exploratory way: What do we think about someone like Chevy Chase?

Mr. Chase still tries to be funny here, sometimes desperately, and isn’t. Which along with a career’s worth of ill will puts the sting in “I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not.”

In short, the production is very comprehensive, and the archival footage...is excellent, but the structure is decidedly conventional. [Full review in Spanish]

Surface-level understanding of professional achievements and personal woes, and Zenovich isn’t getting anything out of Chase’s participation, which helps to derail a potentially honest and illuminating look at a complicated man.

The doc is eminently watchable and absorbing, and Zenovich lets the facts sit out in the open without judgment or justification.

Totally excuse the ass back then (hen he was relevant), don’t excuse the ass now. Ego at its finest. Give it up man.

Chevy Chase is a love or hate kind of guy. I really liked this film because it was honest.

After watching this documentary I can see what a vile human Chevy Chase is. The best thing about this profile of a bizarre, nasty, unfunny person is that it will always remind me to never,...ever look at anything this person has done in the past. Ever.

A good reminder that we are human possible of possessing many different traits and imperfect beings. He could be funny, arrogant, kind, sensitive, hurtful, regretful, mean, clever, depressed, loving, selfish, empathetic, etc. This man was many things and it’s heart warming that he had this chance to be understood a little after being cancelled for so long.

I was curious how they would approach who is this often-polarizing figure of a man, and frankly I quite enjoyed the balance struck here. They didn't pull punches, and weren't afraid to take some too. I found myself glued to the screen and wanting more. Definitely check it out!

Kudos for the work it took to make this. Painful to watch at times in a "say it ain’t so" kind of way. Would have liked more interviews with the original core SNL cast.
