far too silly
May 20, 2003
A lightweight, breezy experience that, by never pretending to be anything more than what it is, disarms criticism.

A breezy, peppy frolic and a tour de force for Chase.
December 08, 2007
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.

This could be Bob Hope material c1942 and Chase does acquit himself well (though with cool reserve) in the gags-to-plot transitions. What dulls the enterprise is that Ritchie so keeps his distance from every character.

Twenty-two years later, I get all the jokes, but I remain only pleasantly amused, nothing more, nothing less

What truly holds Fletch together isn't the somewhat off-putting Chase--whose screen presence was always defined by a love-it-or-hate it smugness--but his time-tested collaborators: screenwriter Bergman...and director Michael Ritchie...[Blu-ray]
April 24, 2007
A quick, smart, slick piece of comedy filmmaking that features a once-great comedian at the very top of his game.
October 23, 2004
Whenever the move threatens to work, there's Chevy Chase with his monotone, deadpan cynicism, distancing himself from the material.
March 10, 2005
One of Chase's best

It's not all about wacky disguises and goofy aliases. At its core, the film is a top notch mystery thriller.
December 08, 2007
Michael Ritchie's 1985 mystery comedy has the pleasant, modest feel of a Fox B picture from the 30s.
