This is the kind of movie that's comedy gold hilarious without even trying! I love the characters in this playing detective environment.
View all Fletch reviews
Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher, Los Angeles journalist, really lives for his profession. As Jane Doe, he publishes articles that have caused several heads to roll in the past. Now, Fletch is at it again: In disguise as a bum, he lives at the beach, researching drugs and their dealing. One day, Fletch is addressed by Alan Stanwyk, a rich man, who asks him, the bum, a favour. For the sum of $50,000, Fletch should kill poor cancer-ridden Mr. Stanwyk with a gun, so that his wife will get the insurance money.

" Revisit Viewing Date: February 14th Via: Binge Plot: Irwin M. "Fletch" Fletcher is a newspaper reporter being offered a large sum to off a cancerous millionaire, but is on the run, risking his job and finding clues when it's clear the man is healthy. Rating: 7.8/10 Why Did I Watch It? I wanted to finally watch the sequel and I could barely remember this one, so a revisit was in order."
