CONTENT WARNING: Misogyny, murder, STDs.

1985’s movie is perhaps the role Chevy Chase was born to play. Imagine a man with a shoestring disguise budget, the affable charm of the mediocre white man, and an absolute disdain for everyone around him. That’s Irwin Fletcher, and Chevy is absolutely fantastic in the role. Unfortunately, Hollywood couldn’t escape the thought that they needed to make a silly comedy and not a sarcastic send-up of noir. This movie needed to let Chevy be Chevy and turn on all of his sarcastic charm. Instead, it relies a bit too much on bits, ignoring the mystery structure, and the one-liners outshine the fun of the characters. Splurge on some 49-cent fake teeth as we talk about Fletch this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
