Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Twenty-two years later, I get all the jokes, but I remain only pleasantly amused, nothing more, nothing less

Rating: 5/5 --
It's not all about wacky disguises and goofy aliases. At its core, the film is a top notch mystery thriller.

Rating: 4/5 --
As Chevy Chase's best starring vehicle, it inverts the novels' occasional darkness into a quick-witted quip machine. But that energy feels appropriately extemporaneous here in making defenses fall or hackles rise. Either way, Fletch gets the story.

...FLETCH is smart, dead-pan dry and funny...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Fast-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.

4 stars out of 4 -- One of the most quotable comedies ever made where Chase is at the top of his game.

Product Description:
Loosely based on the book by Gregory McDonald, director Michael Ritchie's FLETCH is a laugh-out-loud comedy that features a classic performance by Chevy Chase, who stars as Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, a crack investigative journalist who goes undercover for a story about possible connections between the L.A. police department and the local drug trade. He gets derailed when a Santa Monica businessman, Alan Stanwyk (Tim Matheson), mistakes him for a homeless man and offers him $50,000 to commit a murder. The man claims to have terminal bone cancer but can't commit suicide if he wants his family to collect on his insurance policy, so he wants Fletch to do his dirty work. Fletch pretends to accept the offer and finds that it leads him deeper into the heart of his own investigation. Working from a crackling script by Andrew Bergman, Chase relishes every line of dialogue written for his goofy, master-of-disguise character, making FLETCH one of the most influential and oft-quoted comedies of the 1980s.
