They compare it to the tonal mismatch of "Scrooged," which I *get* on an objective standpoint, but that movie works brilliantly for me because Murray is putting in this effort that Chase is incapable of doing.

The fundamental problem of Memoirs of an Invisible Man, a movie I have a genuine soft spot for and saw in cinemas (yeah, I'm the one) is that the legitimately interesting first act gives way to Chevy Chase making the next 80 minutes feel like an eternity of chewing aluminum foil
