Follow the clues with Chevy Chase as Irwin “Fletch” Fletcher in this hilarious 2-movie set, The Fletch Collection! The antics begin with the original comedy Fletch, which follows the reckless investigative reporter – who changes his identity more often than his underwear – as he uncovers police corruption, forbidden romance and murder. The humor continues in Fletch Lives as the newspaper sleuth travels to Louisiana to live the good life but soon finds himself immersed in the kind of troubles that only an ace newsman can solve. It's no mystery that The Fletch Collection is zany, timeless fun you’ll enjoy again and again!
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

Summary: Classic Chevy Chase!!! Fletch delivers!!!
Comment: This is a Chevy Chase comedy classic!!! This Jane Doe Edition is a step up above the original DVD release,sadly the extras included don't have any interviews with Chase or Joe Don Baker but it's still a fine DVD release of a 80's comedy classic!!! Even w/it's slight flaws,still recommended!!! A+
