    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    Gregory McDonald's 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 Chase's flippant, smart-ass brand of verbal humor 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 I.M. "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 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 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, it's 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. --Dave McCoy

    Description
    Chevy Chase is at his hilarious best as Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, a newspaper reporter who changes his identity more often than his underwear. While working on a drug expose, he stumbles onto a scam that gets him up to his byline in murder, police corruption and forbidden romance. For this ace newsman, it'll be the story of the year, if he can only stay alive till the deadline. Fletch is a must-own comedy-thriller classic. Just don't call him "Irwin"!

    5 out of 5 stars fletch dvd   February 3, 2010
    Sarah Dingeldein
    The movie arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition. You'd never know it was a used copy!


    3 out of 5 stars Fletch   February 1, 2010
    M. Goff (Jackpot, Nv)
    I love the movie fletch so when i saw it a such a great deal, i jumped on it. The problem is that the seller failed to tell anyone that it is not of American format. I think the movie is great but i think the seller needs to be a little more clear on their products.


    3 out of 5 stars Great film. NOT HD eye candy. Marginal audio quality.   January 2, 2010

    The other reviewer for this must be new to the format. The Blu-ray release of Fletch features a mediocre transfer not much better than the Jane Doe Edition DVD release. The picture looks overly processed with only a fair amount of fine object detail and lots of coarse texture. The grain is noisy and edge ringing artifacts occur throughout the movie. As for the audio, you have to bear in mind that Fletch was originally recorded in Dolby Stereo. So, despite the DTS-MA track, the best you get is some music bleed to the rear channels. Overall, the Blu-ray transfer is the best the movie has ever looked and sounded on home video but it is not worth paying more than $10 to own.


    5 out of 5 stars Best movies ever!   October 18, 2009
    Josh Plum
    Theses are the funniest movies ever made. I have seen them countless times and they are still hilarious to me. Product was as described and in pristine conditon.


    5 out of 5 stars A classic finally back on DVD. But the "Jane Doe" edition?   August 28, 2009
    Jason Kirkfield (Rocky Mountain High)
    Come on, just release the DVD and save the silly "Edition" names. The worst offender must surely be the upcoming "Those Aren't Pillows Edition" of Planes, Trains and Automobiles. yikes.

    Still, I can't *not* give this classic 5 stars. Who doesn't know (and repeat!) lines from the movie. Chevy at his best: allowed to ad-lib at will.
