    Fletch Lives is the sequel to the 1985 comedy/noirish film starring Chevy Chase as investigative reporter Jane Doe. In Lives Fletch inherits a plantation in Louisiana and quits the reporter game but winds up in the middle of another conspiracy this time involving land speculation, toxic waste, and a Christian amusement park.

    Is Fletch Lives better than the original? No, of course not, but it is better than most of the stuff Chevy Chase has been in after it (Christmas Vacation excluded). Chevy is still the wise ass reporter who has a thousand different names and a thousand different comebacks that remain totally oblivious to whomever he's using them on. There the throwaway girl (apparently Fletch uses the same cologne as Roger Moore: women just fall onto him). Hal Holbrook plays Matlock. That's right, just call him Matlock. The real standout is R. Lee Ermey who goes from the legendary performance in Full Metal Jacket to playing a televangelist. And he pulls it off.

    The story is Bblah. it's not weak and it's not strong it's just there. Overall Fletch Lives isn't the greatest thing out there, but it isn't the worst. Chevy last shining moment? One of them anyway.

    a decent 80s comedy,its a pity that the afternoon tv version/edited can ruin a good film like this by cutting out the bend over scene in the jail

    Not as awesome as the first one, but it's close. The campiness is almost perfection and Chase's Fletch is very funny!

    I will never picture anyone else's face but Chevy's whenever I read a Fletch novel.

    A lot of people didn't like this one, but every time I watch it I laugh as much as I did the first time.

    Hey Betty, how about lunch at the In N' Out Burger?
    No.
    Okay, forget the burger, how about just the In N' Out?
    Ok, how about just the In?

    Fletch was Chevy Chase's second best role, after Clark Griswold of course, and the many characters he plays in Fletch only displays his diversity as an actor.

    This isnt Chevy Chase at the top of his game but it is an entertaining showcase of Chase's talent and much better than the original Fletch. Faith healer Claude Henry Smoot is my favorite character in this film. Hilarious.

    I think I may be the only one on earth to like Fletch Lives just a little bit better than the original.

    The sequel has a lot more CLASSIC fletch moments than you remember. The Evangalistic Preacher section especially is hysterical.

    Steve Martin returns as Fletch, this time inheriting Belle Isle and finding himself accused for the murder of a woman lawyer, who he slept with the night before...
    It's time for Fletch to investigate once more in many disguises!

    A pretty funny film, mostly because of Chevy Chase's endless supply of characters and costumes used to advance his detective plotline. It's not really all that funny or memorable, but it's entertaining if you're bored. But, be warned! This film has the absolute WORST 80's techno soundtrack that has ever existed, EVER. And it keeps coming on every five minutes with the same damn beat.
