Watch Fletch For Free

Just perfect...

A Masterpiece!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Fletch attempts to do for Chevy Chase what Beverly Hills Cop did for Eddie Murphy: turn the comedian into a wisecracking, street-wise hero who is always one step ahead of the bad guys.It doesn't work.Chase gives it his best shot, but the part simply isn't right for him: he's much more suited to playing the lovable, well-meaning fool, as seen in the Vacation movies, Spies Like Us and ¡Three Amigos!. Of course, it doesn't help either that the script is so short on genuine laughs and decent action, the several scenes involving Fletch sporting a variety of crazy guises providing only moderate giggles, the excitement limited to one unimpressive car chase and some brief gun action.The Beverly Hills Cop connection goes so far as to having Harold Faltermeyer providing the score, but his music for Fletch is nowhere near as good as Axel F, being extremely monotonous and incredibly intrusive (the same few notes repeated again and again and again, no matter what the situation).5.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to 6 for the lovely Geena Davis, who has a supporting role as Fletch's loyal newsroom assistant Larry (huh?!?!).

Once you watch this movie a couple of times, you can't help but love it. It's re-watch value is off the charts. Chevy Chase's improv also make this movie extremely quotable. It is a fun plot, that is pretty easy to follow. Although it doesn't have very many laugh out loud moments, the fight scene at the end is pretty laughable, and i'll admit the part where the dog talks is pretty dumb, this is a great movie. If you enjoy sarcasm in real life, Fletch will give you exactly what you need. The groovy soundtrack gives a great and fun 80s aspect to it. The main thing is that this is a great movie to own, and watch again and again, and very easy to reference in the outside world. The wolf in Hoodwinked is based on Fletch,(but it is far superior). I would recommend it to anybody I know.

Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher (Chevy Chase), Los Angeles journalist, really lives for his profession. As Jane Doe, he publishes articles that have caused several heads to roll in the past. Now, Fletch is at it again: In disguise as a bum, he lives at the beach, researching drugs and their dealing.With some brief supporting roles from George Wendt and Geena Davis, this is a fun film with Chase playing a character who plays many characters. From John Cocktoastin to the beach bum, there is plenty of material for him to shine.While the sequel lacks a certain something, there is no denying the original is already a modern classic. If it ever gets remake with Jason Lee in the title role, I would love to see how he can compare.

Watched this last weekend at home with family, where Chevy Chase plays an investigative journalist with a passion for clever disguises.We see Fletch going from place to place making up interesting characters with a great presence of mind to turn every situation into his favour and solving the mystery. The car chase, the hospital scenes as a kidney pain patient and subsequently as a doctor were absolutely hilarious.Chevy acts with absolute ease and is completely into this role keeping the audience laughing from beginning to end. Michael Ritchie is a good director supported by good screenplay from Andrew Bergman.
