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]

It's not all about wacky disguises and goofy aliases. At its core, the film is a top notch mystery thriller.

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

TV Guide's Movie Guide

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.

Michael Ritchie's 1985 mystery comedy has the pleasant, modest feel of a Fox B picture from the 30s.

A quick, smart, slick piece of comedy filmmaking that features a once-great comedian at the very top of his game.

A lightweight, breezy experience that, by never pretending to be anything more than what it is, disarms criticism.

One of Chevy Chase's better comedies, which admittedly ain't saying a whole lot.

A sparkling light comic mystery of the kind that Hollywood doesn't make anymore -- pity.
