Mike P 20h 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 Sandy d @spdegro 3d Very well done documentary. I cried, laughed, furrowed my brow, laughed some more. the film we watched last night — it was very well done, and I thought it conveyed the background to Mr. Chase’s 'complex' upbringing with real care and nuance. What impressed me most was how the filmmakers avoided simplifying his childhood into a single stereotype. Small details — the production design of the home, the quiet moments between scenes, and the measured use of flashback — made the past feel lived-in rather than just explanatory. Chevy gave a restrained, honest performance that allowed us to see both vulnerability and defensiveness. Overall, I left feeling more empathetic toward Mr. Chase and more aware of how upbringing shapes behavior in complicated ways. Beyond that chatgpt pilfered write up, how can you not watch a biopic on one of the funniest guys on tv in the 70s and star of those hilarious vacation movies. You will not be disappointed.

He’s a complicated human as we all are and the filmmakers did a good job giving context to some of his more controversial moments, without letting him off the hook. He will always be one of the best comedic actors of all time and the documentary reminds you of the breadth of his career and its impact on future generations of writers and actors.

The difference is he had a well below average home life as a kid and then chose to go into the massively egotistical world of acting. There's no monster here. There is however a very funny, talented person who gave us some fabulous times during the 80s. Thanks Chevy. Caddyshack was simply the BEST !!!!!!!!!
