 | This movie is ok, not as funny as the first one, however I still recommend watching this movie after the first one. Chevy Chase is funny throughout both movies. |

| Lightning only struck once for 'Fletch'. Nothing could top the original anyway. True 'Fletch' fans already know this-- |

| I caught this movie by chance on USA Family one weekend night, and I'm glad that I stayed tuned! Chevy Chase plays a reporter working out of L.A. that inherits a piece of real estate in the South and soon finds himself being shot at and in the middle of hilarious, wild antics. Chase dresses up as many different inconspicuous characters to find the mysterious murderer that wants his property and him dead. Although one will see that the critics here have bashed the script for its lack of stability and substance, but this older comedy truly fulfills its mission to keep you laughing. |

| Prison Inmate: Take your pants off. Fletch: I don't even know your name? Prison Inmate: Bend Over. Fletch: Ben? Nice to meet you, I'm Victor Hugo.
Fletch Lives has it's moments, but the spunk and hilarity of Fletch is gone. Chevy just seems a bit bored with this one and the script is just not appealing overall. Chevy saves most of the movie with his occasional one liners but I can't say this one is worth owning. But if you're a Chevy Chase fan, you might as well enjoy what it offers. |

John Wylie ... Accountant Amusing film about an attempt by nefarious forces to buy ancestral land bequeathed to Fletch (Chevy Chase) by his late aunt. Chase is his usual hilarious self. The plot is a bit confused, but becomes clear as the story develops. The background scenery of the old south, with its ivy covered mansions, Spanish moss covered trees and swamp is reminiscent of Georgia around the Okefenokee swamp, but without the alligators and cottonmouth moccasins (although reference is made to the latter.) This is a fun film to spend an evening with. Some allusions to sexual miscopnduct in a jailhouse scene by Chase and Tex Cobb (Ben Dover), but nothing too raunchy. It will pass for an over 13 auduence, I think. Joseph (Joe) Pierre
