TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Quotably funny -- and fast-paced enough to smooth over the jokes that don't land -- Fletch is one of the best big-screen vehicles for Chevy Chase's brand of smug silliness.

One of the most amusing entertainments to come around in a while is Fletch, an amiable comedy/thriller starring Chevy Chase.

A breezy, peppy frolic and a tour de force for Chase.
Michael Ritchie's 1985 mystery comedy has the pleasant, modest feel of a Fox B picture from the 30s.
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.

Whenever the move threatens to work, there's Chevy Chase with his monotone, deadpan cynicism, distancing himself from the material.
A lightweight, breezy experience that, by never pretending to be anything more than what it is, disarms criticism.
Audience Reviews for Fletch
Back in '85 when Chevy Chase was somewhat popular with folks. Looking back he's a bigger clown. Serviceable investigation movie. His disguises are awesome but people should've seen it was him. The basketball player scene was a ripoff because it was only a daydream on TV. The weaker follower of the Beverly Hills Cop success.
Super Reviewer
Funny and good entertainment.
