Decent, classically constructed solid genre plot versus Chase, making escapades with grin from ear to ear and silly humor in every single scene. In addition, a moronic voiceover and a truly guilty pleasure 80's soundtrack. In the original, I assume journalist / detective Fletch is conceived as a charming cynic who will not take a step without a dry one-liner. Here he is conceived as an asshole. Not that the contrast between serious genre and grotesque humor could not work, it could, and especially with Chase, but here it doesn´t work smoothly, it never gets it right and it all give the impression of a pilot of a second-rate 80's series more than anything else.
