I.M. "Fletch" Fletcher (Chevy Chase) is a big city newspaperman who goes undercover and poses as a bum.

Fletch believes that there is more to the story and, before long, uncovers a drug dealing connection between Stanwyk and police Chief Karlin (Joe Don Baker).

Nick and Jane 1996 R, 95 min. Genre: Comedy
Director: Richard Mauro Cast: Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, James McCaffrey, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Gedde Watanabe, John Dossett, David Johansen, George Coe, Clinton Leupp
After finding her boyfriend in bed with another, Jane (Dana Wheeler-Nicholson) ends up falling in love with taxi driver Nick (James McCaffrey), who sped her away from her ordeal. This is a so-so sex comedy, with kinky people all over the place. It's not very imaginative, and there are probably better ways to spend the hour and a half it takes to get through this one.
