Full Plot Details

Ailing Los Angeles newspaper reporter Irvin "Fletch" Fletcher, in debt, inherits from a aunt "Bell Isle", a sprawling 80-acre Louisiana plantation estate, quits his job and moves east expecting to live like a Dixie king. But he failed to inspect the run-down inheritance, leaving him only a shabby mansion with a shifty caretaker instead of reliable staff. Having celebrated anyway with an attractive lawyer in bed, he wakes up finding her mysteriously murdered and himself jailed, soon to be bailed, as prime suspect. Undaunted by a neighborly lawyer's warning to leave town, he waves foxy real estate agent Becky Culpepper's persistent offer well above the apparent value from a third party and starts snooping why with Becky. That proves a dangerous activity for him and almost anybody around, everything pointing to local magnate Hamilton "Ham" Johnson and his 'Confederate' circle of friends; including TV preacher Jimmy Lee Farnsworth and a dodgy chemical plant.

Movie Reviews

Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Boyd FarrowFunny and inventive vehicle for Chevy Chase's hapless and genuinely funny comic creation.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 8/10 by Harper BarnesReprising the role, Chevy Chase is reliably irreverent as the tangle-footed, many-monikered reporter.
Newsweek - 7/10 by David AnsenEffective as these actors are, it's Chase's breezy performance - with its blend of irony and insouciance - that makes Fletch Lives worth a look. He's what Alan Alda would be if Alda could ever figure out how to adapt his TV persona to the big screen.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel - 6/10 by Candice RussellWith the exception of an elaborate fantasy sequence straight out of a Disney movie and a running gag about a Cadillac without brakes, Fletch Lives should have been called Fletch Staggers.
Film Threat - 6/10 by Clint MorrisNot quite as good as the first, but still an enjoyable jaunt
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Chris WillmanIn this meager sequel, as in its popular predecessor, Chevy Chase demolishes every easy target in sight with a quip of the tongue. Some of the lines are funny, but after a while you just want to smack him.
Tulsa World - 5/10 by Dennis KingYour appreciation of this film will rest largely on your taste for Chase's particular brand of snide comedy. If you like Chase, Fletch lives; if you hate Chase, Fletch dies.
Miami Herald - 5/10 by Juan Carlos CotoFletch Lives is the ultimate comedy of condescension, a movie with a hero whose every other line of dialogue is a snide wisecrack directed at a fool. In this meager sequel, as in its popular predecessor, Chevy Chase demolishes every easy target in sight with a quip of the tongue. Some of the lines are funny, but after a while you just want to smack him.
Tampa Bay Times - 4/10 by Hal LipperWhen Chase bothers to actually play a character, he can be very effective (his "Funny Farm" was one of the best comedies of 1988). But sometimes he seems to be covering himself, playing detached so that nobody can blame him if the comedy doesn't work. In this film he seems to have no emotions at all; consider the scene where he discovers that the woman he made love with has died during the night.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 4/10 by Bob BloomToo bad, he did. Maybe if he hadn't this sequel won't have been necessary.
