I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not <\/strong><\/em>(2026)<\/p>\n

Director: Marina Zenovich<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stars: Chevy Chase<\/strong>, Beverly D’Angelo, Ryan Reynolds, Goldie Hawn, Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, Kevin Nealon, Paul Shaffer <\/strong>and Lorne Michaels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tagline: None.<\/p>\n

The Plot…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday Night Live<\/em> premiered on October 11, 1975, and it was obvious from the start that Chevy Chase was going to be the breakout star.\u00a0 When Chase anchored the “News Update” segments viewership would spike.\u00a0 He came off as funny, goofy, personalble, girls thought he was cute and guys liked him as well.\u00a0 And man, could he take a pratfall.<\/p>\n

The only surprise when Chase left Saturday Night Liv<\/em>e for Hollywood was how quickly it happened. He didn’t even complete the show’s second season.<\/p>\n

Chase’s first starring role in a feature film (Foul Play<\/em>) hinted at great things to come.\u00a0 But his films were hit (Caddyshack, National Lampoon’s Vacation<\/em>) or miss (Oh! Heavenly Dog; Under the Rainbow<\/em>).\u00a0 The misses started to outnumber the hits.\u00a0 Rumors surfaced that Chase was “hard to work with” or worse still, just an ass.<\/p>\n

I‘m Chevy Chase and You’re Not<\/em> explores Chase’s life warts and all.<\/p>\n

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a Chevy Chase<\/em> fan at the start of his career.\u00a0 I thought Chase was going to be a big star.\u00a0 And he was for a bit. Chase would have been on top longer, if not for his behavior. Maybe it was the drugs (which he discusses).\u00a0 Maybe it was his ego.\u00a0 Maybe it was unresolved issues from his childhood.\u00a0 More likely it was a combination of all of these things.<\/p>\n

I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not<\/em> is interesting and informative even without the participation of folks who declined to be interviewed (Steve Martin, Martin Short, the entire cast and crew of Community<\/em> – except for Jay Chandrasekhar who directed one episode with Chase).\u00a0 Their silence says a lot.<\/p>\n

After seeing I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not<\/em>, I have a better understanding of the man and his career.\u00a0 He often appears to be his own worst enemy.\u00a0 Yet, at 82, Chase still has a quick (often inappropriate) wit even if he can no longer take a pratfall.<\/p>\n
