Do the Fletch movies count as bad? I liked both of them and was hoping that they would make Fletch Won with a new lead one day...I always enjoyed the books and think it is a good series that would work well today with the right talent
If you're talking about Fletch Lives then yeah...it was bad. And I REALLY wanted to like it. Forced jokes that fell flat trying to recreate the first. I believe this is when Chevy Chase was skiing up to the shark. (Nothing But Trouble is when he faceplanted). Fletch was great and Siskel&Ebert stated that was Chevy's best movie.
I didn't realize they liked the first one so much. Another of his lessor known films that I enjoy is Funny Farm
Chevy was on Carson with them when he was promoting Three Amigos. They bashed that and then declared that about Fletch. Funny Farm was great. That was why I said Chevy skiied UP TO the Shark...FF was the ramp.
You ever read this book?..a little dated now...but still accurate and funny
