Whoever greenlit a third Fletch movie deserves an Oscar for whatever that would be. I loved it. Does nothing but add to the series.

Not bad, and it has its moments of good laughs, decent mystery. Overall, though, it mostly just made me want to watch Chevy Chase’s Fletch movies.

First half of the movie was a 10/10, but then it quickly went downhill and the ending was a typical Hollywood ending we've seen since the 1950s.. seriously can't anyone write a good ending? How hard can it be to stray from the usual cop out.

Plenty of laughs and very entertaining for the first half and so so for the rest. Too bad cause it could have been terrific.

7/10

While I appreciate this new Fletch movie might be closer in spirit to the source material than the Chevy Chase movies, I still thought it was disappointing. The script wasn't sharp or funny, the line delivery wasn't quite there, and the final product is a bit of a jumbled mess.

I had zero expectations for this and watched solely for Jon Hamm...and I am so glad I did. Easily one of the most entertaining flicks I've seen in quite some time. The comedy and wordplay are clever, the characters oddly quirky, and the interactions zippy. The plot is a bit meh, but is really a delivery mechanism for the oddball interplay between our cast of characters. I genuinely loved this from start to finish.

Film 84 (Goal: 300) of 2024

I don't know why but I just couldn't get into Confess, Fletch despite being well written and well acted. Jon Hamm is his usual charming self. I appreciate that he's version of the character is more charming and palatable than the Chevy Chase version. Though from memory the Chase version is far funnier. Fun supporting cast all playing into the heightened nature of the world. But as I said, it just didn't connect with me in the same way it appears to have done for others. But even still, not bad.

Jon Hamm does a pretty good job playing Fletch - nice and irreverent like the character from the books. Unfortunately some of the other acting is not great, notably his gf that’s played by a Chilean actress that can’t act or do a proper Italian accent. The mystery aspect is also a bit weak. Overall had a fun time watching it and laughed several times. Definitely recommend it for anyone that likes the Mystery-Comedy genre…

As a fan of the Chevy Case films I had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised how good this was!!! Some great laughs, a good story and Jon Hamm was perfect

It seems more an episode of an American TV series than a fully fledged film. The comedy could trigger some laughter every now and then, but, really, using a Spanish actress to act an Italian lady and talk in Italian was not really an intelligent choice.

this was a ducking shietty movie

WOW that was charming. Jon Hamm fit in perfectly into the role that Chevy Chase made popular. Everyone is on point here but Marcia Gay Harden whose "italian woman" is only so-so. That's okay though because she has her own show right now called *So Help Me Todd* and her "WASP-y woman" is 100% on point.

A great mystery, classic humor. I feel like I'm watching *Dirty Rotten Scoundrels* or *Beverly Hills Cop* again.. or honestly.. just Fletch again because why not. I can't wait for more of this.

The writing however needs a touch up because for a main character Fletch doesn't really do much. That's fine for Inspector Clouseau (*The Pink Panther*) or Wallace Ritchie (*The Man Who Knew Too Little*) but he IS supposed to be an investigative journalist of some renown. In the end it doesn't amount to anything.

I suppose this is an acceptable reboot for the current generation. I still prefer the original Fletch movies with Chevy Chase. Although Jon Hamm does do a fairly decent job as Fletch.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

For anybody who likes the books, this is kind of great. The Chevy Chase Fletch movies are good Chevy Chase movies, but this is a good Fletch movie. Jon Hamm is wonderful.

Like most of the girls I fell in love with in college, it spends more time trying to be cute than clever.
