LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Predrag Fletch is the comedy of all comedies. From the classic Mr. Poon to the unforgettable roller skating rabbi, you'll be splitting your sides from start to finish. Chevy Chase is perfectly cast as Irwin Fletcher, a wise cracking newspaper reporter working undercover on a beach to expose a drug running operation. At the same time, he is mistaken for a junkie by shady millionaire Alan Stanwyk (Tim Matheson) who asks Fletch to murder him. Fletch agrees but launches an investigation into finding out why this man wants to be killed. This isn't lowbrow humor, it's quick witted and very fast. Fletch requires a few viewings before one is able to grab all the jokes, but it's well worth it. Director Michael Ritchie's lightness of touch, along with understated support from Richard Libertini, Tim Matheson, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Joe Don Baker and an early-in-their-careers Geena Davis and George Wendt, allow Chase's style of comedy to never become either too overbearing or too quirky (although Ted Underhill's credit card must have helped...). Fletch is marvelous, you will smile, you will laugh louder and you will feel you really enjoyed a great film. It is one you will watch again and again.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

gavin6942 Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher (Chevy Chase), Los Angeles journalist, really lives for his profession. As Jane Doe, he publishes articles that have caused several heads to roll in the past. Now, Fletch is at it again: In disguise as a bum, he lives at the beach, researching drugs and their dealing.With some brief supporting roles from George Wendt and Geena Davis, this is a fun film with Chase playing a character who plays many characters. From John Cocktoastin to the beach bum, there is plenty of material for him to shine.While the sequel lacks a certain something, there is no denying the original is already a modern classic. If it ever gets remake with Jason Lee in the title role, I would love to see how he can compare.

chrisjakubowski What can I say? Great movie that belongs to the same category as The Naked Gun and Airplane. Chase carries it with his charm, charisma and cockiness. And the anal examination and the morgue scenes are absolutely hilarious. Think Chase was born to play Fletch, it's seems to be tailor made for him.The movie hasn't aged in 30 years since it's creation. It's still as fresh and funny as back in 1985.I know that its not the most compelling review ever but don't know what to write except for: you just need to see it. Go on now - put it on... You will not regret it!!

Ricky Wayne One of the best comedies of the 80's & quite possibly THE best one of them all. In fact I can't think of another comedy this good completely carried by a single main character, although Beverly Hills Cop is a close second. Chase's ability to assume numerous completely different identities is unrivaled. He's in a class by himself in that regard. I've read where Kevin Smith wants to do the standard prequel update w/ Jason Lee as Fletch. < That IMO will be as big a flop as Steve Martin's embarrassing attempt at Peter Seller's PINK PANTHER.I usually watch this movie over & over its that good.If you want to watch comedic perfection this is your movie. Add Vacation, The Three Amigos, and a few other 80's films and you've got one helluva movie collection.
