John Gemberling as John Belushi… This is going to be awesome
ok i need song help …. what is the song the starts at the party around 1hr and 10 mins ?? its the song that starts right after the cocaine scene with chevy and doug. ive looked up lyrics and nothing shows up. it sounds like Deep Purple, the voice sounds like Gillan big time. even tried shazam and other song apps but nothing shows up. someone has got to know …. 🙂
1:16 Wow. That was not the movie. 1:51 either. Shot before they hired Nomhnall Gleeson?
This thing got middling reviews, but… man, I loved it. It ticks all the really specific boxes I have for "movie I'm gonna love forever and not care what you say" (dark comedy/dramedy based on a true story with obvious exaggerations, usually with a slightly-unreliable-narrator, with a sympathetic-but-not-necessarily-likable protagonist, usually telling a behind-the-scenes story or a slice-of-life, probably featuring comedic actors in semi-dramatic roles and occasional moments of surrealism; a sour, cynical core with a tiny dash of uncomplicated sentimentality. In other words: 24 Hour Party People, Nixon, A Christmas Story, The Social Network, Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, and this thing.)
Omg Joel McHale playing Chevy Chase is the best thing ever! xD
this movie just looks stupid as fuck. I can't even make it through the trailer
I kinda wanted to see more of Joel as Chevy Chase. He looks nothing like him, yet he had the mannerisms down.
I had the chance to watch this movie on boxxy sotware and I’m HOOKED on it. Great service, everything is for free even an adult content. Good movie. Worth watching though.
This movie ended up being sadder than I thought it would be. Still good though.
This was a great ass movie
I'm so lost here…
Why is the guy that looks like Martin Mull, introducing himself as Doug Kenney, when Doug died in 1980?
I have a feeling that Doug Kenney was not the easiest or nicest person to be around. For that matter, I also expect Mark Twain was difficult to be around. It is a simple truth that supremely talented people, ESPECIALLY those who make us laugh, often are NOT nice or easy. But laughing at how ridiculous is the human experience is crucial to our survival, so thank you Doug, wherever you are (if, in fact, you are anywhere).
Immediately recognized Babs as the tour guide and Neidermayer as the corporate shill. Awesome placement.
The time comedy was fun and inteligente!
If they ever make a movie about Robin Williams' life they should have Will Forte play him,he was awesome as Doug Kenney
Why is Dan Akroyd not in the film?
Will Forte & Domhnall Gleeson (the chameleon)? I'm in!
Finn Wittrock was perfect in this
Spoler
I really feel for Chavy Chase and the story when he lost his great friend doug Kenney on Hawaii. A association more about his real human nature than just the bad things that are talkad about him
The crazy thing (I saw this movie a year ago and I'm only 22) was that I had never heard of Doug Kenny before this, so assumed the dude playing him was actually him so I was shocked when he committed suicide.
What is this…and why am I finding out about this now, after the community reunion.
Joel Mchale as Chevy Chase, you had me at Community on Netflix xD
Old Doug Kenny isn't played by Doug Kenny….. sad
That’s Jake’s Grandpa
How am I just finding out about this
Ah, the sweet stench of desperation.
Literally right before I watched this trailer I watched a brief video on the history of National Lampoon and thought there should be a movie about it!!!
I wonder if national lampoon didn't start if we would have shitty comedies
THIS MOVIE IS SOMETHING TOTALLY AMAZING, SUPERB, AMAZING,
IF I EVER MAKE A MOVIE LIKE THIS I WILL BE SATISIFED.
FORGET HAPPY GILMORE, THIS IS THE REAL THING :)!!!!!!!!!
The Modern Sandwich scene was brilliantly written.
GREAT MOVIE
Only just now hearing about the existence of this movie… nearly a few whole years after it came out.
boring uninspired show
Best movie
The meta thing about having the actual guy commenting on the movie is very reminiscent of American Splendor.
I was so amazed when I saw the creators of National Lampoon in a movie. I will go back in time and save Doug Kenney. To ensure National Lampoon continues through it's original makers.
Doug Kenney is immortal through the National Lampoon Cinematic Universe.
I wish I had kept the Lampoon's I had read in the early 70s. Bernie the Cab Driver, and Foto Funnies, Boo Hoo !
How the F am I now just hearing about this…
This is such an underrated movie.
Don't forget that they weren't the only ones. The Firesign Theatre was influential back then. Unfortunately they have been unjustly forgotten.
Only here for Joel Mchale.
This movie was gold. I wish more people saw it
I wasn’t prepared for the cascade of tears at the end. I’d watch this as a series.
