Trivia:
Fletch tells beach drifter in one scene that he "feels like a hundred dollars". This line is also said by Ty Webb in Caddyshack (1980), a role also played by Chevy Chase. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: During Fletch's dream of playing for the Lakers, we see a top down shot of him as he tries to drive the lane for a basket. At the top of the screen for a few seconds it is revealed that the court ends at half court and is therefore not a complete regulation NBA basketball court, and is instead a sound stage as opposed to a sports arena. more
Quotes:
Fletch: Mr. Stanwyk's parents Marvin and Velma of Provo, were unable to attend the wedding. Those are three names I enjoy; Marvin, Velma, and Provo. more

GREAT MOVIE - will leave you dying laughing!, 14 August 2003
10/10
Author: dougiejr3 from Houston, TX

This movie is over the top hillarious - I don't know what hyped up dope that the last person who left a comment was on, but I LOVE this movie! What really makes the movie is both Fletch's imagination, his flair for developing different characters, and especially his speed talking. examples include "I love your body Larry (Geena Davis)" while on the phone in front of a hotel clerk, "Nugent, Ted Nugent" when asked by Alan what his name was, "What kind of a name is Poon anyways?" asks Mr. Boyd, to which Fletch's reply is, "Comanche Indian". This movie totally rocks and you will love seeing it AGAIN and AGAIN!!! It is so much better than jay and silent bob strike back, you'll be laughing for hours! enjoy!
