I have always loved Chevy Chase. Since his stint on SNL, he has been among my absolute favorite comedians. His dead-pan, smart-alec comedic style assured his stardom, early on. First hired by Lorne Michaels as a writer for SNL, it didn't take long for his face to appear on camera.
With the opening line..."Good evening. I'm Chevy Chase, and you're not," he launched his successful career.
Unlike many of his turn-coat fans, I have and love 25 of his feature films. There has never been a movie by Chevy Chase that I did not like. I even have "Couch Trip" because of a cameo by Chase in a condom ad in the background of this movie.
In my opinion, the "Fletch" movies are among his best works. I loved "Vacation," but "Fletch" and "Fletch Lives" are by far his best endeavors.
Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher is an investigative newspaper reporter who is currently working on a story about illegal drugs on a CA beach. With this future star-studded cast, take in many names you'll know and love, who were still struggling to achieve some level of fame at this time.
George Wendt, Geena Davis for starters.
In this one, Chevy runs an almost one-man-show as a roller skating rabbi, a doctor, an airplane repair technician, a beach bum/junkie, an insurance investigator named Harry S. Truman, another insurance investigator but this time a Comanche Native American named Mr. Poon, a wannabe LA Laker, and a sycophantic tennis bum. Although I know this is not the case, this character seems to have been written for Chevy's style. If you were a fan of SNL, at the time "...back when it was GOOD..." in the late '70's and early '80's, then by all means, check out this movie. It is some of Chevy's best acting.
It rates an 8.2/10 from...
