PLOT:
Fletch tries to solve an art case while being a prime suspect for multiple
murders.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I enjoyed the Chevy Chase versions.
STORY STUFF: I like how this film puts you right into the investigation. The mystery is not amazing but its light-heartedness and cast of characters kept me interested. Fletch has some great one-liners and he’s great as a Lyft client. I thought there was a bit too much driving around in this film though I did enjoy the way Fletch evaded his police tails. There’s a pretty good pace to this movie. I hope they keep making them.
ACTING STUFF: Hamm is a lot suaver than Chevy Chase; I did enjoy Chase’s disguises though. Hamm looks like he’s having fun in the role so I enjoy watching him. Mayeri is also fun as the rookie detective. I liked that they stunt casted with John Slattery (Mad Men) as Fletch’s former boss. Looks like everyone is having fun.
ARTISTIC STUFF: I don’t know what it is but this just seems like a TV movie and not a feature film, not that there is anything particularly wrong with that. Not much else to say.
VERDICT:
Three and a half stars out of five
SEE IT IF:
You enjoy Jon Hamm and a light caper.
