Breezy deadpan comic noir where Chevy Chase basically plays himself, but as part of his undercover investigations he also gets to improvise a hundred different personalities, to varying degrees of success. The stakes aren't that high, the humour is laid-back and smug, the action is controlled, and the central mystery sometimes takes a back-seat in favour of hanging out — Fletch feels like a spiritual sibling to its older, more fuzzed out brother The Long Goodbye.
