This Sequel Suicide kicked off Tuesday, obviously, with Fletch.
I was a little hesitant to give this franchise the suicide treatment
because from what I remembered, I really enjoyed both installments.
Having refreshed my memory, that wasn’t a bad call.
Fletch (Chevy Chase) is a little worse for wear than when we left him. Investigative reporting for the same LA rag has left him bitter and frazzled, or maybe owing over four grand in alimony to his ex is the problem. Either way, Fletch is at his wits’ end when he receives news that his Aunt Bell has died and left him Bell Isle, an eighty-acre plantation in Louisiana. Fletch promptly quits and skedaddles to the bayou, hoping to live out his days in Southern luxury only to find Bell Isle in serious disrepair. Unfazed, Fletch rejects a sizable offer from a mysterious buyer and soon finds his life threatened. With Bibleland bumping against his aunt’s property, Fletch snoops into the holy theme park’s greedy proprietor, Jimmy Lee Farnsworth (R. Lee Ermey), only to discover an even deadlier secret.
Rendezvous...
