Really well made and fun biopic, casting is awesome and everything is so light and fun
I never knew any of this about National Lampoons so while being very informative it is also a hilarious and touching story.
A really sweet biopic about a ridiculous character. Ending made me cry.
I knew nothing about National Lampoon’s history despite being a comedy nerd. Funny and informative.
Funny and accurately depicts the guy’s struggles
Plenty of laughs -- early scenes are especially hilarious. In a crowded cast, Joel McHale's portrayal of Chevy Chase really stands out.
Great funny as fuck and a great story . Before this all I knew National Lampoon as was the vacation movies but they are a lot more
The movie itself is above average but not exceptional, yet the story it tells makes this movie worth the top grade
i found it required your constant attention throughout for you to remain in touch with the plot. Not a casual watch. Good film.
An interesting look into the life of the OG of American comedy.
