****
Investigative reporter Irwin Fletcher, while working undercover to expose drug operations on a California beach, is approached by a wealthy man with an unusual offer: he wants Fletch to kill him. Comic mystery based (loosely) on Gregory Mcdonald's novel works on its own more obvious level, with Chevy Chase giving an ingratiatingly funny performance as Fletch. Plenty of laughs and a legitimate mystery to hold it all together. Strong supporting cast including Tim Matheson, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Joe Don Baker, and Geena Davis in a small role as Fletch's assistant. Forgettably followed by Fletch Lives in 1989.
