Plot Summary: Fletch, an investigative reporter using the alias Jane Doe, finds himself embroiled in a bizarre plot when a wealthy man offers him a large sum to kill him. Intrigued and suspicious, Fletch delves into the man's claims of a terminal illness, uncovering a web of secrets and potential foul play related to his current undercover drug investigation at the beach. Utilizing his skills in disguise and sharp wit, Fletch navigates a dangerous path, uncovering a much larger criminal scheme than initially anticipated.

Dad's Preview: With Fletch, Chevy Chase finally hit his stride in film. The plot is not really the focus as much as each scene serving as a vehicle for a new disguise or entertaining caricature set in a doctor's office or airplane hangar. It is enjoyable, especially for fans of his career spanning SNL and a few movies co-starring Goldie Hawn. This likeable caper is never really a serious detective flick, but that's OK if you're up for a few pratfalls and giggles. There's even a sequel.
