“It’s a performance that makes you wonder if Jon Hamm even wants to be here, and that apathy extends to the character’s appearance,” writes Tribune critic Nina Metz.
Jon Hamm takes on the role originated by Chevy Chase in"Confess, Fletch."
In the book, our man Fletch is engaged to an heiress from Italy. When her family’s pricey art collection goes missing Fletch works to unravel the mystery — and, in the process, is framed for a murder he didn’t commit.Some minor details are changed in the screenplay adaptation from Greg Mottola and Zev Borow. Fletch isn’t engaged to anyone, but simply floating around Rome when he’s hired to track down a wealthy family’s stolen paintings.
There was a buoyancy to the original movies, which date from 1985 and 1989, but I’d wager Fletch is a blank slate to a sizable chunk of movie audiences born in the years since. And the newest film doesn’t do the necessary work to introduce — well, reintroduce — who he is: The guy’s a jerk, but he’sjerk. He’s wry and unflappable, but there’s supposed to be a moral compass in there somewhere, beneath that self-satisfied exterior.
