Petros T @PetrosTserpelis 18 hrs ago A linear, comprehensive look at Chevy Chase's life and career told through archive footage and talking heads varying from colleagues to family members. Him being controversial makes it automatically more interesting, and in his own interview tidbits, notably including outtakes, he emerges alternately as an asshole and as quite likable. The film mostly steers clear of sensationalism without overdoing either condemnation or exoneration, and the takeaway is that things aren't black-and-white. See more

David F @dfulmer Aug 20, 2026 Great documentary about a funny comedian. See more

Kate F @RT69708689 Jun 4, 2026 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. See more

Robert T @Thorntonis Mar 6, 2026 It’s great to see a documentary about the life and career of one of the best in their field. 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. See more

Sal D @JustTheLaw Feb 15, 2026 This is an intriguing documentary….intriguing enough to get a glimpse to inner sanctum of Chevy Chase that he chooses to show. 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.

Todd T. @toddat Feb 9, 2026 Pretty honest portrait of a complex guy who was never as important as he thinks he is. See more
