Critics consensus

“Chevy Chase remains ideally suited for the role, but Fletch Lives lacks its predecessor's wit, relying instead on silly disguises, cheap stereotypes, and largely unfunny gags.”

RTEmpire MagazineJul 1, 2015

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

RTLos Angeles TimesJul 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?

…the Fletch package still holds as a means of delivering Chevy Chase to his eager public….perhaps some discomfort with the edgy content provides an explanation why the rise of Fletch stopped here with Fletch Lives...
