Why I bought Fletch

I bought this movie because some reason this movie is worth five times it's original price. I feel it is a great investment. I bought it to resale it. And that's the facts Jack.

dvd purchase

I bought the dvd for my husband who is deployed. They have Fri night movie night and wanted to see this comedy to bring morale up. I liked the fact the opportunity was available to find this movie through ebay, as it is difficult to find through local movie stores.Read full review...

Fletch - undiscovered gem

Fletch is a fairly sarcastic and occasionally very funny Chevy Chase vehicle scripted by Andrew Bergman (Blazing Saddles, The Freshman, Honeymoon in Vegas) from Gregory McDonald's lightweight mystery novel about an undercover newspaper reporter cracking a police drug ring. Enjoyment of the film pivots on whether you find Chase's flippant, smart-ass brand of verbal humour funny, or merely egocentric. If you don't like Chase, there's really no one else worth watching (Geena Davis is sadly underused). Chase seems born to play IM "Fletch" Fletcher, a disillusioned investigative reporter whose cynicism and detached view on life mirrors the actor's understated approach to comedy. Fletcher offers Chase the opportunity to adopt numerous personas, as his job requires numerous (bad) physical disguises, and much of film's humour centres on the ridiculous idea that any of these phoney accents or bad hairpieces could fool anyone. These not-so-clever disguises are put to use when Fletch becomes involved in the film's 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, they're subservient, for better or worse, to Chase's memorable one-liners and disguises. Followed by two forgettable sequels that lack both the original's wit and Chase's attention span.Read full review...

Fletch

Chevy Chase is superb in this classic film, very funny indeed, light hearted comedy that will please all ages. From start to finish theres laughs aplenty throughout, and the 'God Save Our Queen' bit is just great!Read full review...

Fletch

Great one liners from Chase accompanied by a wicked soundtrack from Faltermeyer.

It s got it all, deception, fraud, money, bigamy, laughs and the baddie gets what s coming.

A classic movie from the eighties.

Very highly recommended, although i rate all of Chevy Chase s films.Read full review...

Classic Chevy Chase - Very funny and well acted

Chevy Chase is one of my favourite actors and plays well any part in which he performs. In addition, this film is typical of the 1980's and has drawback value. There are a few other actors who are well known and have gone on to pursue successful careers.Read full review...

Fletch

Like all Chase's work its another very UNFUNNY film. one for the brainless. excellent tho for insomniacs or people that have been unable to enter the world of adulthood!!!
