The Nice Guys
Why this pick
Its loose-limbed detective plot, mismatched clues and dry, disreputable charm deliver a similarly breezy mystery where the comic detours are as satisfying as the case.

Fletch
Why this pick
Chevy Chase’s original incarnation has the same identity-hopping investigative playfulness and irreverent rhythm, with a mystery mainly serving the hero’s nonstop evasions.

The Kid Detective

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Why this pick
This fast, self-aware noir pairs a murder investigation with sly narration, comic incompetence and escalating coincidences—ideal if Fletch’s wisecracking chaos was the main draw.

Zero Effect
Why this pick
An eccentric private investigator and his grounded assistant navigate a wealthy client’s strange case in a relaxed, character-led mystery with offbeat humor rather than grim suspense.

01 / THE STORY
A dead body. A stolen Picasso. And this guy.

The only way to prove his innocence? Find out which of the long list of suspects is the culprit--from the eccentric art dealer and a missing playboy to a crazy neighbor and Fletch's Italian girlfriend.
