Viewing Notes

For my Childhood Movies Project. Also one that I’ve seen several times since it’s release but I decided to include it for this project since it has been a number of years, maybe 10 or more, since I’ve seen it.

Still a classic and one of Chevy’s best films. Maybe #2 after Vacation for me. I flip flop on them because each has such a different role and I love how Chevy is almost always in control commanding each scene in Fletch. Good watch.
