The tone throughout Confess, Fletch is refreshingly casual and the dialogue is usually clever. The silliest bits are some of the accents and a twisty plot. Hamm anchors all of it, as funny as he’s teased at being for the last decade or so in supporting roles. Read full review

It didn’t knock me out with ingenious plot twists, bold cinematography, or groundbreaking editing. But it made me smile for 98 minutes. That doesn’t happen too often lately. Read full review

Even if you’re wholly unfamiliar with the franchise, Confess, Fletch will find fans among anyone who likes mystery-comedies, wickedly dry humour, and the sight of Kyle MacLachlan twirling glow-sticks to club music. Read full review

There’s more than one way to get a job done — whether it’s solving a murder, recovering priceless art or repainting an old van — and Fletch’s strategy is guaranteed to be more original than whatever the next guy would try. Read full review

Confess, Fletch doesn’t possess a whole lot of heft, but it manages to serve as an old-fashioned and playful star vehicle, carving out a version of the character that’s distinctive from Chase’s broader, more slapstick-oriented take. Read full review

Getting peeved at Mottola and Hamm’s easygoing efforts would be like getting mad at a cat for sleeping too much. Read full review

Slashfilm Mike Shutt

Sep 12, 2022

Confess, Fletch, based on Mcdonald's second novel in the series, entirely misjudges the comedic appeal of its predecessor, transforming a setup of one sardonic man at the center of a hardboiled mystery into a barrage of eccentricities and bits that just sit dead on the screen. Read full review

Very funny. I dearly miss Flynn, but Roy Wood Jr. as Inspector Monroe is fabulous. The story has grown a little more complicated, luckily we caught it in streaming and we had to go back and forth a bit to clear up stuff. But I was laughing out loud.

It lacks the comic star power but its a very entertaining and well written comedy/mystery. Good, old school entertainment.

I enjoyed it, really liked John Hamm's acting and the style of it, maybe the story itself could have been more better or events in it more epic or memorable, but other than that it was nice

Maybe not the five stars Fletch himself would give, but still fun. Ok, maybe the story is silly, but i really liked the characters and the awkward situations. Jon Hamm is effortlessly good.

This is a movie where the jokes aren't very funny but there's a lot of them.

Tem uma pegada de humor em meio às investigações, mas o filme é realmente entediante!
É como se pegasse o pior do Woody Allen e o pior de fimes de detetive e pusesse tudo ali, com uma edição confusa, excesso de personagens e aquele típico humor britânico. Claro que o elenco entrega demais,Tem uma pegada de humor em meio às investigações, mas o filme é realmente entediante!
É como se pegasse o pior do Woody Allen e o pior de fimes de detetive e pusesse tudo ali, com uma edição confusa, excesso de personagens e aquele típico humor britânico. Claro que o elenco entrega demais, mas é impossível fazer milagre num roteiro como esse.
Eu ri acho que umas três vezes, e com muita disposição. Não falo das situações absurdas, pois até isso passa com boa vontade, mas falo mesmo da pieguice e da chatice da história, que é esquecida assim que as luzes se apagam. Pelo menos a parte da produção e a luz das tomadas está caprichada, dá realmente aquele ar de mistério. e tirando os atores que estão á vontade em seu papel, sobre realmente muito pouco. Filme completamente descartável.… Expand

One of those "comedy" movies where instead of writing jokes they just do bad accents and score it with "funny" music.
