MCT:August 19, 2008There is no one quite cooler, then Irwin Fletcher. Weather he's portraying Dr. Rosenpenis, Dr. Rosen, John Cocktoston, Arnold Babar,Fletch F. Fletch, or Frieda's boss; he will keep you in stitches the entire time.

They just don't make 'em like this anymore. One of the greatest shows filled with some of the best one-liners ever created by man.

thought it was a good film and as usual fronts the type of humor and timing that it seems chevy chase executes so well in his films

MCT:May 13, 2008Chevy at his best all the different names he uses Arnold Poon is the funniest. So many wisecrack quotes such as do you own a pair of gloves mr nugent " No I rent them, lease with an option to buy. The best is the ending quote of the movie when he says he charged the entire vacation to the underhills credit card want the number

I love this movie. This was the kind of humor I remember from his SNL days.
He's kind of become a bit of a douche nozzle since then.
The sequel wasn't that bad either but not quite as good as this. -

04-12-08 --A Chevy Chase Classic! With his different characters and quick wit I don't understand why this movie isn't seen as one of his best. It has intrigue, romance, humor & a water buffalo reference... what more do you need?

I quote this movie just about every day. Chevy Chase was the original 80's SNL funnyman. He paved the way for ALL the greats... Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, all the way down to Adam Sandler and Chris Farley and Will Ferrell. They have all said they learned from him. This movie is proof of why they did.

Fletch is nothing more than a bit of entertainment with a few laughs, and it was never meant to be anything more. Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher (Chase) is a Los Angeles journalist who writes articles that are controversial and revealing. His latest assignment is to disguise himself as a bum and live at the beach to research drugs and drug dealing. But one day he is approached by businessman Alan Stanwyk (Matheson) who puts forward a proposal: Stanwyk will pay Fletch $50,000 if Fletch kills him. Stanwyk explains he is dying of bone cancer and wants to be murdered for his family to benefit from his life insurance policy. Fletch agrees, but what seems like a simple straight-forward payday becomes more complicated when he researches Stanwyk with startling results. Chevy Chase was never one of the best actors alive, but his performance is half decent here and he supplies many of the good laughs. Many of the other cast members are good, but not great. It's not the comedy masterpiece I had heard it was, but rather strictly a fluffy entertainment piece. But the laughs aren't as frequent as I was expecting, albeit there are a few worthy gags...but nothing really memorable. Fletch is a good bit of fun for 90 minutes of your time, but you will forget it shortly afterwards.

MCT:November 7, 2007"Look a Defensless Baby!" Ha!, You looked. This is the Best Chevy Chase movie out there. The plot of the movie is not the best but just watching Chase do his thing back when he was on the top of his game is worth it. This is one of my favorite comedies ever.

Excellent. Chase plays this role as if he were born for it. It has the laughs and the mystery. They should have made more than two of these for how smart and fun they were.

Chevy Chase has never been better; he keeps the same bemused, sardonic attitude no matter what the film throws at him and he gets to don a series of hilarious disguises. It's Chase's performance that makes 'Fletch' rise above mediocrity. It's not a great film by any means, but definitely a very enjoyable one. I've often said that it's the perfect film to watch when you're slightly hungover on a Sunday afternoon.

Chevy Chase and his smart-ass humor make this film a must for comedy fans. Weird how this film was based on a serious mystery novel...
-
MCT:July 27, 2007Oh boy. I saw about half of this on TV and it was pretty lame, lol. I like Chevy Chase - he can be very funny, but not really in this movie.
-
MCT:July 15, 2007
This movie may be one the funniest mysteries. Chevy Chase solves the case by being everyone else. If you want a movie to make you laugh from beginning to end, you have found it.

Reasonably amusing, but never laugh-out-loud Chevy Chase vehicle that's a shameless clone of Beverly Hills cop sanitized for middle class white america.
-
MCT:July 14, 2007
I've always considered this movie as one of my all time favorites. Chevy's comic timing is really impressive and this ranks as probably his best performance to date. Not exactly overflowing with classic scenes but you have to try harder to fully appreciate it.

I've seen this movie more than 20 times at this point. Know the script at this point as well as the guy's who wrote it and STILL find myself laughing til I cry watching it. Chevy's best work by far! They'll be playing this movie in ANOTHER 30 years and people will still laugh their asses off watching!

I love Fletch! I grew up with Chevy's humor and this movie was one of those that I still quote to this day.
