This movie stars Chevy Chase, a graduate of Bard turned truck driver, turned comedy writer, turned star of my sexual fantasies...boy this movie turns it out....i cant wait for him to do a new fletch movie -hope smith doesnt botch it up with his moxy--i am i am a fan -never turn down a smith flick, but my love for fletch is for the things not in a smith flim, just good old fun, not tongue tying dialogue with a dick or fart joke to lighten it up-gross!!!Fletch needs to be a one liner sex god-like chevy---Thanks Chevy Chase M.D. (just kidding love Carol Colette)

Chevy Chase is at his best as newspaper reporter I.M. Fletcher in this hilarious and underrated 80's classic. While investigating a mysterious flow of drug traffic on a California, Fletch attracts the attention of a mysterious businessman who offers Fletch a very unique proposition. He asks Fletch if he will murder him, Fletch's answer is: "Sure." Rest assured, hilarity ensures as Fletch searches for the mysterious truth behind the request, and the missing fragment which links both his stories together.
