Gregory McDonalds lightweight mystery novel about an undercover newspaper reporter cracking a police drug ring is transformed by screenwriter Andrew Bergman (Blazing Saddles, and writer/director of The Freshman and Honeymoon in Vegas) into a fairly sarcastic and occasionally very funny Chevy Chase vehicle. Enjoyment of the film pivots on whether you find Chases flippant, smart-ass brand of verbal humor funny, or merely egocentric. If you dont like Chase, theres really no one else worth watching (Geena Davis is sadly underused). Chase seems born to play I.M. "Fletch" Fletcher, a disillusioned investigative reporter whose cynicism and detached view on life mirrors the actors understated approach to comedy. Fletcher offers Chase the opportunity to adopt numerous personas, as his job requires numerous (bad) physical disguises, and much of films humor centers on the ridiculous idea that any of these phony accents or bad hairpieces could fool anyone. These not-so-clever disguises are put to use when Fletch becomes involved in the films smart but continually self-mocking two-part mystery. As well as trying to gather drug-smuggling evidence against the LAPD for a long-overdue newspaper story, a rich and apparently terminally ill stranger also offers Fletch a large payoff to kill him. While the film does a fairly good job juggling both of these plots, not to mention tossing in a love interest as well, its subservient, for better or worse, to Chases memorable one-liners and disguises. Followed by two forgettable sequels that lack both the originals wit and Chases attention span. --Dave McCoy

A great piece of work from Chevy Chase! Funny and intriging, if you like Beverly Hills Cop, this is a must see.
Poor movie... not really funny
Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :0
Not at all what Id expected having seen other Chevy Chase comedies. The very idea of disguising the main character was pretty good, but what kills the film is an almost absolute lack of plot.
