Fletch (DVD, 1998, Subtitled Spanish)

Irwin R. Fletcher, ace reporter for the L.A. Times. He's in the middle of
going undercover as a junkie to crack a story of drug dealing at a local
beach when he is approached by millionaire Alan Stanwyck, who offers to
pay Fletch, who he mistakes as another of the beach bum junkies, a
large sum of money and a one way ticket to South America if Fletch would
murder him. He claims to be dying of cancer, and his insurance policy
only covers murder. Fletch agrees, but starts digging in the dirt for
Stanwyck's real agenda. His boss at the paper grows increasingly displeased
with Fletch's tardiness with the drug story. Fletch also has to
contend with his ex-wife's sleazy lawyer. Along the way, Fletch infiltrates
various institutions, such as a country club and a hospital, using many
of his hilarious aliases as he goes along (Harry S. Truman is one).
This movie has it all; it's funny, fast paced, and has a pretty good
mystery to figure out too. Chevy Chase is on the top of his game in this
one. It is based on the first novel in Gregory MacDonald's "Fletch"
series, and it's one of those movies that you can watch over and over again
and never get tired of.

This is... quite simply, one of the funniest movies... EVER. Chevy Chase's ad-libbing and comic genius shines brighter than ever in this hilarious film. As a lover of comedies, I have watched this film several times and laughed harder each time. This DVD definitely has that "Re-Watch-ability Factor". GREAT INVESTMENT

A Chevy Chase classic. One of his best performances. This film is hilarious. If you love the National Lampoon's Vacation series, this movie will not dissapoint. Dry, sarcastic humor with plenty of one liners.
This DVD was made on a limited production run and is no longer made. What ever copies are out there is it, so if you can get your hands on one, do it!
Based off the books by Gregory Mcdonald.

This particular DVD is difficult to find and when I found it on Ebay I was thrilled. What I didn't know is that DVDs are made in a way that they can only be played on equipment that is "region specific". For instance, this particular DVD was labeled "Region 2". That means it can only be played on equipment manufactured in Region 2 of this planet. There are steps you can take to adapt your own DVD player, but they are so long and complicated it is almost comedic. I admit that I was ignorant of this system, and the seller had labeled the DVD as Region 2, but the outcome for me is that I own a DVD that is absolutely useless to me.

The one I got was a copy, but the movie itself works and it is a great movie! This movie is an absolute classic.

Seeing as how I never received the movie and was on of several scammed by the same person, I'm fairly sure you'll have several ITEMS that receive a poor review, if any at all. Thanks.

Are you kidding! Here's the thing....Everyone has their personal favorite comedy. Mine has to be 'Fletch'. Everything that comes out of Chevy Chase's mouth is sarcastic, biting, and hilarious. If anyone hasn't yet seen this movie, they should either buy it or borrow it from someone they know who does have a sense of humor. It's really that good (as far as you know). Sincerely, Ted Nugent.

Chevy Chase is outragiously funny in this movie. This is a movie that you want to own and watch it over and over again. Laughs everytime you turn around.

Fletch is an investigative reporter who assumes various disguises/personalities to get his stories. He is played by Chevy Chase, who has a touch of urbanity that subtly adds to the characterization of the title character. His dialogue ihas wonderful word play, e.g., "Thank you very little," which adds depth to the situation.

Fletch finds himself in the middle of a murder for hire situation, and this complicates his current project, which has to do with undercovering drug dealing on a beach environment. Effectively, he has a crime to solve, and doing it is a complicated project, thoigh buoyed up by Fletch;s inventiveness and characters.

A good relaxing film, not cerebral, yet neither as silly as many "comedies."

Went to purchase for my husband, he has always wanted this movie but it is hard to find. So I got it on E-bay, came sealed as described, but skipped in one of our dvd players, and wouldn't even play in the other, both very nice dvd players.

It is in great condition. No scratches on the case or DVD. It is a really funny movie, so I wanted to buy it and I am glad that I used this particular seller because it was exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price.

I loved this movie because it is a classic, I bought it because I have been looking for it for some time; and the price was right!!

I received the movie quickly and the seller was really helpful in explaining how to play a Region 2 dvd on a regular dvd player! :)

One of the funniest movies of all time! This movie is out of print so most of the ones out there are region 2 and will not play in all dvd players. Authentic ones can tend to be a bit pricy but if you are an old school Chevy Chase fan like I am the laughs will be worth it!

I am still trying to get the movie through ebay as it is OOP. Unfortunately, the seller, Wavecool84, AKA Phyllis Debartolo is a thief. I have a signed copy of my Money order and recived nothing in return. The seller has made no attempt to return any of my emails or phone calls. I have filed a complaint with Ebay about this seller. This is the first issue I have ever had with buying anything on ebay but has made me be more careful\leary of buying anything else through ebay as I am not sure i will again.

This is a gift for someone and shopping on EBAY made the buying easy. I really like the fact I was able to bid on the item and received immediate notification when I won. Paying for the item via PayPal was extremely easy and now I always pick sellers who offer PayPal. The item was packed well and shipped quickly once PayPal payment was processed. The seller did an excellent job of informing me of what he needed and what he would do once payment was received.

This is an incredibly funny movie! Chevy Chase is a terrific actor and very witty. This movie fits right in with his line of work.

I bought the movie Fletch because I recently found out that it is not being sold any longer and it's collector's item. My fiance` absolutely loves the movie and we couldn't find it in any store at all. The movie is hilarious and it's just a great classic Chevy Chase movie. If you love Chevy Chase you are definately going to love Fletch.

The disk was defective, the seller did not respond to requests for return and E-Bay was not helpful in locating him.

I looked at all the video stores in our area but no one had this movie. So, I turned to Ebay! I am happy with my purchase. The only thing I would change is the format. I wish it were DVD instead of VHS but I bought it knowing it was a VHS, so I can't complain!
