Film Review – I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not

Chevy Chase. He’s not a man with a golden reputation, making any effort to create a documentary about his life and times a delicate operation. Director Marina Zenovich (“Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind,” “Richard Pryor: Omit the Logic”) makes a valiant attempt to understand the whole machine of mockery that drives the comedic performer, with “I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not” hoping to pry open the subject and understand how he works. Chase’s appearance in the picture pretty much kills such a plan, even telling Zenovich she’s not intelligent enough to comprehend his thinking, commencing a tour of unlikability that’s blended with an examination of career and personal issues. “I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not” doesn’t quite pull off the documentary approach, with present-day Chase (now an 82-year-old man) factoring into too much of the endeavor, breaking up more interesting and informative stretches of behavioral analysis and professional exploration.
