Plot: Chevy Chase added a classic comic hero to the film landscape with Fletch, one of his few truly popular star vehicles in a famously misguided post-Saturday Night Live career. Chase plays Irwin M. Fletcher, known to everyone as Fletch, a Los Angeles Lakers-loving investigative reporter with a gleeful disdain for deadlines and a knack for pushing the buttons of his frustrated editor (Richard Libertini). He's also known for donning numerous disguises and assuming zany false identities to help gain information. While pursuing an ongoing story about a powerful drug dealer who operates from Venice Beach, he comes across an intriguing offshoot in which he becomes intimately involved. Aviation executive Alan Stanwyk (Tim Matheson) has an unusual proposition for Fletch: If Fletch agrees to an elaborate plan to kill him, for reasons Stanwyk refuses to divulge beyond explaining that he has bone cancer, Fletch will walk away with a healthy sum of money and a plane ticket to Brazil. Curious yet suspicious by profession, Fletch begins investigating Stanwyk's true motives, which leads him through numerous misadventures. Among them are a visit to a stuffy country club; a high-speed car chase with an unwitting passenger; repeat encounters with Stanwyk's wife (Dana Wheeler-Nicholson), although she may not be his only one; and a trip to Provo -- that's Utah, not Spain. Inspired by a novel of the same name by Gregory McDonald, Fletch went from thriller to comedy as it was adapted into a vehicle for Chase. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

A classic finally back on DVD. But the "Jane Doe" edition?
Added 8/28/2009
Come on, just release the DVD and save the silly "Edition" names. The worst offender must surely be the upcoming "Those Aren't Pillows Edition" of Planes, Trains and Automobiles. yikes.

Still, I can't *not* give this classic 5 stars. Who doesn't know (and repeat!) lines from the movie. Chevy at his best: allowed to ad-lib at will.

A Total Clasic Combo!
Added 8/25/2009
Totally worth buying if you can appreciate physical, smart a** comedy and laughing out loud! After you've watch it 2 or 3+ times, it keeps on getting even better! I just wish they kept making more Fletch movies!

Excellent

For anybody who enjoys subtle and at times not subtle banter humor this is good. Chevy Chase emerged from SNL with a comedy of his own and made the best of it.

awesome collector's edition set! I wasnt expecting the 2 seperate discs or the hysterical Fletch rotating disguise case. I definitely recommend!
