I actually enjoyed his ‘vacation’ movies far more once i knew what a jerk he was since those movies’ make his struugles the punchline.

kinda makes me wonder if part of what makes those movies work is how cathartic watching scenes of chase get hurt was for his director and co-stars.

Taken as a whole, the vacation movies were funny. But not because of anything Chevy did. They could have cast that role with a mop and it would have rated just as well.
