Have you been dying for a Jon Hamm and John Slattery reunion since the end of Mad Men? Now, you can see their glorious friendship on the big screen (or the little screen!) in the comedy crime film, Confess, Fletch.
Hamm stars as the eponymous Irwin “Fletch” Fletcher, a former journalist with an endless ability to get himself into tight spots. Hamm fills the big shoes of Chevy Chase, who starred in the previous two installments of the Fletch series. The first two, Fletch and Fletch Lives, debuted in the 1980s. Chase made the role his own, using his signature charm and physical comedy to cement the Fletch series as a classic.
Now, in the third installment of the series, Hamm’s Fletch searches for a missing art collection. Of course, the man has penchant for getting into way more trouble than he bargained for. This time? He ends up as a murder suspect. Confess, Fletch has been plagued with more than twisty plot points, however, according to Director Greg Mottola, of Superbad and Adventureland fame. Reportedly, Hamm gave up 60 percent of his own salary to the film's budget, so the production team could afford to extend the shoot by three days. The director donated part of his salary, too, just to finish the movie on his terms.
After all this effort, is Confess, Fletch worth a watch? Luckily, you have the opportunity to check it out for yourself. The film released in select theaters on September 16, but if you can’t catch it near you, Confess, Fletch is available to rent on Amazon and Apple TV. On October 28, after its theatrical release, the film will become an exclusive Showtime feature. So if you're '80s fever still hasn't calmed down yet? You know the move this weekend.
