'Confess Fletch' is a so-so mystery comedy that has long been in the works, but it does give Jon Hamm an opportunity to be a charming delight. Our review:
Early on in Confess, Fletch—the long in development reboot of Chevy Chase’s pseudo-detective comedy series—Irwin “Fletch” Fletcher is walking around Rome with Angela , whose father had been kidnapped, yet she’s already been taken in by the charms of Fletch. As the two discuss their romantic history, Fletch mentions that he’s been married multiple times, stating that he’s “very easy to fall in love with.
Fletch’s investigation brings him in contact with a variety of fun characters, including Detective Monroe and his new partner Griz , who assume that Hutch is the killer; Kyle MacLachlan as Horan, an art dealer and germaphobe; the aloof Eve . But the most enjoyable of these dynamics is John Slattery as Frank, a writer friend of Fletch. Years after Mad Men, it’s still great to watch Hamm and Slattery play off each other—even if they don’t get nearly enough time together.
While Confess, Fletch isn’t as broad as the original Fletch—or as broad as we know Hamm can get when it comes to comedy—this blend of genres works for co-writer and director Greg Mottola and co-writer Zev Borow . Mottola directs this murder mystery with a warm camera that highlights the fun of this mystery, rather than the potentially bleak narrative.
