Funny and inventive vehicle for Chevy Chase's hapless and genuinely funny comic creation.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 1, 2015

In this meager sequel, as in its popular predecessor, Chevy Chase demolishes every easy target in sight with a quip of the tongue. Some of the lines are funny, but after a while you just want to smack him.

Being so sour about Fletch makes one feel like Kvetch, but seriously, is all it takes to be a screen comic the ability to flare the nostrils and to fall down?

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 1, 2015

With arbitrary laugh lines coming along to strip the credibility from every situation and the integrity from every character, there's hardly a moment in the new film that seems as authentically alive as a California Raisins commercial.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 1, 2015

The sequel, like the original, is entertaining in a slightly stale, basically sitcomy way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 1, 2015

Chevy Chase is perfectly suited to playing a smirking, wisecracking, multiple-identitied reporter in Fletch Lives.

| Mar 26, 2009

The humour throughout is alternately mindless, sexist, racist, and homophobic, and would probably offend if you managed to stay awake.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2003

Mr. Chase is such an agreeably low-pressure comedian that a movie has to be very inept to be as irritating as Fletch Lives.

| May 20, 2003

Chase may be 12 years past Prime Time, but the 45-year-old pratfaller has never been better. He and Fletch were made for each other as surely as Kojak and Tootsie Pops.

If you appreciate his kind of drop-dead deadpan, you'll enjoy the journey south.

| Jan 1, 2000

Fletch Lives is one more dispirited slog through the rummage sale of movie cliches.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000
