Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, 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. One day, Fletch is addressed by Alan Stanwyk, a rich man, who asks him, the bum, a favour. For the sum of $50,000, Fletch should kill poor cancer-ridden Mr. Stanwyk with a gun, so that his wife will get the insurance money. What the guy didn't think of was Fletch's real profession. Returning into normal life, Fletch instantly takes up research not only to find out that Mr. Stanwyk is healthy as life itself but he also runs into certain connections between drug dealing at the beach, Alan Stanwyk, his private jet, the police and a very expensive piece of Land in Utah.
Leave your thoughts about Fletch.
| DVDTalk.comDavid CorneliusIt's not all about wacky disguises and goofy aliases. At its core, the film is a top notch mystery thriller. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA breezy, peppy frolic and a tour de force for Chase. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergA quick, smart, slick piece of comedy filmmaking that features a once-great comedian at the very top of his game. |
| TimeRichard SchickelEven the car chase in Fletch is witty and believable and something an adult can attend without flinching. As the adolescent revels of summer wear on, that alone could make it a movie to cherish. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelAdmittedly, the storyline weaves all over the place, but no matter — Chase's performance and a plethora of daft and witty situations carry it past some structural rough spots. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyFast-paced and witty, this is Chase's best solo venture to date, and will hold almost anyone's attention for its well-edited 98 minutes. Chase underplays his wackier moments to great effect, though he isn't always quite as funny as he thinks he is. (He also isn't the next Cary Grant, which he seems to believe as well.) |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrMichael Ritchie's 1985 mystery comedy has the pleasant, modest feel of a Fox B picture from the 30s—a Charlie Chan with a sense of humor... It does make for a decent evening's entertainment. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyAn enjoyable paperback of a film, a lightweight, breezy experience that, by never pretending to be anything more than what it is, disarms criticism. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomIf you like Chevy Chase, you'll like this movie. If not, it's just a time killer. |
| Lawrence Journal-WorldJon NiccumOne of the more quotable comedies of the 1980s |
