Though the original Fletch was drubbed by critics, it proved a major success for star Chevy Chase. It was inevitable, then, that a sequel would make an appearance. Surprisingly, Fletch Lives didn't co... read more

April 4, 2011Chase's sequel to Fletch is just as good as the first movie, just as funny too. If you're a fan of his, you really should see this movie.

January 8, 2008This is not as good as the first one but it's still fun and Chase is great as this character.

July 30, 2007Better than the original Fletch movie, with Chevy Chase donning many funny disguises to solve a series of wrong-doings in the richly-flavored old South. I liked his impersonation of a televangelist scammer, and his tribute to "Song of the South".

No.
Okay, forget the burger, how about just the In N' Out?
Ok, how about just the In? -
January 22, 2012fb9426219Fletch is still funny in round two. If you liked the first one you will probably like this one too. It has several good laughs and funny situations where Fletch is going under cover in wacky disguises that have even more ridiculous names. The case he is pursuing is not as good as... read more

November 15, 2011Samething I said about the first Fletch movie. If it was anyone else playing Fletch it wouldn't have been a good movie. But Chevy Chase is brillant when it comes to humor like this. I admit, the movie is stupid, but that is wholly what I love about it. Sure, if you want a more re... read more

Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
A very disappointing sequel that's not nearly as funny and witty as the original.

Clint Morris, Film Threat
Not quite as good as the first, but still an enjoyable jaunt

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Fairly funny sequel.

Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Too bad, he did. Maybe if he hadn't this sequel won't have been necessary.
