My friend in college recommended this movie last year and I finally got around to seeing it today and I just have to say it was absolutely hilarious! The dialog was witty, plot kept my attention, and even though I hate Chevy's new material this was definitely awesome. The lady that played Gail Stanwyk was so hot too I couldn't believe it. The only other movie I recognized her from was "Tombstone", it's a travesty she's not in more as she's such a good actress to go along with her looks. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and am looking forward to watching it again. I highly recommend it if you are one of the unfortunate's that haven't been graced with it's showing yet. Final Call: Movies : Sure I'd splurge! DVD Purchase : Yes, I just hope they digitally remastered it as the VHS copy was kind of blurry. Rental : An awesome rental!

Chevy Chase, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Tim Matheson and Joe Don Baker star in this 1985 comedy based on the book. Chase (Vacation films) plays Irwin Fletcher aka Fletch, a L.A. journalist who works under the name, Jane Doe and is a master of disguise. Soon, he's hired by wealthy businessman, Alan Stanwyk (Matheson) to kill him for 50 grand because he's diagnosed with cancer. Fletch agrees and decides to snoop into Alan's personal files discovering he's not ill and is a drug-dealer. Fletch also meets and falls for his wife, Gail (Nicholson) who eventually discovers Alan is trying to steal her money. Baker (The Natural) plays crooked police chief, Jerry Karlin who is dealing with Alan. Geena Davis, George Wendt, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, M. Emmett Walsh and the late, James Avery also appear. Chase is great in this as usual as well as Harold Faltermeyer's score. I recommend this 80's Chase classic.

Fletch is a refreshing departure from most modern crime/mystery flicks, and cop comedies. Chevy Chase plays Fletch, an undercover journalist with a penchant for clever disguises. The film takes itself seriously, as we see Fletch run from place to place making up names and solving the mystery. What makes this film great is that it's not a comedy by nature, but that the character Fletch is a comical man. Thus, we laugh at him and the situations he makes for himself. The film doesn't need to poke fun at itself, we have enough fun watching Fletch. It's hokey at times, and some of the supporting actors can be a little flimsy, but if you're interested in a great light-hearted mystery from the 80's, Fletch is a great watch!

This is one of Chevy Chases best movies ever. Acting and story are fantastic for the era. If you get a chance, watch his movie.

"Fletch" (circa 1985), the original "Fletch" flick, features Chevy Chase at his prime who, in his own inimitable way, plays a straight-faced, bemused, fast-double-talking investigative reporter who solves a major drug smuggling operation. "Fletch" is currently on the cable merry-go-round and makes for a fun and entertaining watch for Chase fans or Chase fans to be.

I sat and larfed my butt off when I saw this in Beeville TX summer '85. And it still holds up today, though the score is kinda crappy, still...you gotta love the get ups, the one liners, and the mystery, too, kinda works. Check out the scene where joe Don Baker threatens Chevy with the gun...Baker wasn't kidding. He was gonna do in Fletch right then and there. They had just enough oomph in the mystery/police corruption angle to let you know that this wasn't just Slapstick Chevy. It works. I enjoyed seeing Jim Bob from the Waltons play a bit as a car thief, who gets stuck in a car chase with Chevy, the Kareem cameo, hmmmm, and the pretty generic blonde who Chevy gets at the end. She is quite nice, doesn't seem to have had much of a career...(Dana Wheeler-Nicholson?) Overall, enjoyable, they coulda made 3-4 of these. *** outta ****

Class! just pure class, nothing long winded just short and sweet, made at a time when chase was top of his class with others like steve martin, as for the film its a good story with many many jokes most of which you will have to see the film again to catch as some as they are very fast such as name changes he comes up with, it still stands up well today even if some jokes are lost on people to young to remember certain peoples names, its a shame people like chase don't get the films that made them so big in the 80s but times and tastes change, i myself am a chase fan and this film is him doing what he does best.
