In the books, the targets of Fletch's disdain all deserve it. He's one of a few characters who could have used more screen time, in part because when Fletch is poking at him, you don't get the idea that he's punching down. In our interview with director Greg Mottola, he said that a lot of the humor comes from watching Fletch react to the people around him - but he isn't really a straight man, given that his personality and snark are unavoidable.įrank Jaffe, Fletch's editor who makes a brief appearance in the film, is played by Mad Men's John Slattery, and his back-and-forth with Hamm is golden. There are scenes that feel like a callback to the screwball humor that showed up in Fletch, juxtaposed against a much more dry, much less silly take on the character and his world. While Hamm does a great job threading the needle between "book Fletch" and "movie Fletch," not everyone pulls it off. ![]() ![]() That is not the only writing choice that's a little baffling. ![]()
