Fletch (1985) ***

Fletch (1985) is an amusing bit of fluff that has aged decently. It's often very funny—thanks of course to its star, Chevy Chase—and, unlike many '80s comedies, it contains very little "offensive" or “problematic” content when viewed through the "2020 lens". The film is episodic in nature, giving Chase the opportunity to riff on his many disguises, there's lot of great character actors in the supporting cast, and Harold Faltermeyer's synth score is catchy as hell. All in all, Fletch is a fun, inconsequential little movie.
