Gregory McDonald's lightweight mystery novel about an undercover newspaper reporter cracking a police drug ring is transformed by screenwriter Andrew Bergman (Blazing Saddles, and writer/director of The Freshman and Honeymoon in Vegas) into a fairly sarcastic and occasionally very funny Chevy Chase vehicle. Enjoyment of the film pivots on whether you find Chase's flippant, smart-ass brand of verbal humor funny, or merely egocentric. If you don't like Chase, there's really no one else worth watching (Geena Davis is sadly underused). Chase seems born to play I.M. "Fletch" Fletcher, a disillusioned investigative reporter whose cynicism and detached view on life mirrors the actor's understated approach to comedy. Fletcher offers Chase the opportunity to adopt numerous personas, as his job requires numerous (bad) physical disguises, and much of film's humor centers on the ridiculous idea that any of these phony accents or bad hairpieces could fool anyone. These not-so-clever disguises are put to use when Fletch becomes involved in the film's smart but continually self-mocking two-part mystery. As well as trying to gather drug-smuggling evidence against the LAPD for a long-overdue newspaper story, a rich and apparently terminally ill stranger also offers Fletch a large payoff to kill him. While the film does a fairly good job juggling both of these plots, not to mention tossing in a love interest as well, it's subservient, for better or worse, to Chase's memorable one-liners and disguises. Followed by two forgettable sequels that lack both the original's wit and Chase's attention span. --Dave McCoy
Description
Chevy Chase is at his hilarious best as Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, a newspaper reporter who changes his identity more often than his underwear. While working on a drug expose, he stumbles onto a scam that gets him up to his byline in murder, police corruption and forbidden romance. For this ace newsman, it'll be the story of the year, if he can only stay alive till the deadline. Fletch is a must-own comedy-thriller classic. Just don't call him "Irwin"!

 Classic Chevy! January 9, 2009
I bought this as a gift, but have seen the movie several times. Classic Chevy Chase. I love the different characters he plays and wonder how much was just him - totally unscripted.
 Fletch December 28, 2008
A great piece of work from Chevy Chase! Funny and intriging, if you like Beverly Hills Cop, this is a must see.

I ordered this item a month in advance so i could give it as a gift and it still has not come and Christmas is tomorrow!!!! Never use this company!!!
Perhaps the funniest movie ever made December 17, 2008
This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. On par with Caddyshack (no pun intended). Chevy Chase's roles & acting are over-the-top in FLETCH. Truly an awesome performance. Hilarious with quotes by the dozen.
Strongly recommend purchase of this superb movie.
Classic Chevy Chase!!! Fletch delivers!!! November 28, 2008
This is a Chevy Chase comedy classic!!! This Jane Doe Edition is a step up above the original DVD release,sadly the extras included don't have any interviews with Chase or Joe Don Baker but it's still a fine DVD release of a 80's comedy classic!!! Even w/it's slight flaws,still recommended!!! A+
