Least promising Sequel/Remake/Franchise Flick of 2022

I...kinda want to see that.

The novel (and the whole Fletch series) are drier and smarter than the Chevy Chase movie suggests. And solid plots. Hamm seems like a great choice.

I read three or four of the novels as a teenager, around the time the movie came out. They were good; I wonder if they'd stand up now.

I seen Confess, Fletch this week and it was dreadful. Enough very good or competent people involved to wonder why it fell so flat.

i thought it was pretty ok! i lol’d throughout, maybe too loudly on the plane. i will not remember a thing about it by tomorrow

The actual mystery plot itself was fine but 98% of the jokes just died horribly. It wasn't even that they were terrible jokes but something about the delivery felt really off. One of the worst films I've seen in a while.

Not gonna go to bat very hard for it but my experience was more like Brad's: amusing and diverting enough, and I lolled several times. I'd watch another sequel, though I have doubts this was successful enough to make another

loved the rookie detective getting constantly outfletched by fletch

Not as good as a Fletch book, but a good modern adaptation of a Fletch book. Would happily watch two a year.
