I've felt the movies he did afterward weren't that great although I did like "Nothing But Trouble" (which came out a couple years after this movie).
shareYep. Same year he did Fletch Lives. That was definitely the last hoorah of Chevy. Just before the 90s slipped in.
shareYeah, when you go back and look at his filmography you see that he really only had a brief prime and just a handful of great films. For whatever reason he just didn't have the staying power of some of his fellow 80s comedy stars like Bill Murray or Steve Martin.
I've also heard he's quite bitter about this and is a huge asshole.
Yup! Famous for being a one trick pony asshole!
shareWell that's the whole problem. Once "stars" start believing their own hype, they become assholes - and it translates right over to film. If Chevy can ever find humility again, he might actually turn in a good project in his final years.
shareTrue. And sad. He had a good run in the late 70s/early 80s.
shareBUMP
shareOK, So I went and checked out his film resume post Christmas Vacation
He had a couple good films, funny, until the Vegas Vacation, then nothing memorable
SOOOO I guess you're right
Snow Day (2000) where he plays a weatherman forced to wear silly costumes to boost ratings is funny role, but other than that he didn’t have much after this besides Community
