I agree...and when I started reading the thread felt the same way. there is nobody that could play "Fletch" as well as Hamm. Looking forward to it, honestly. or his he playing John Coctostan?
I’d love to see a Fletch Lives Redux with proper editing. The running narration by Chevy that made the original more than “just a bunch of cobbled-together Chevy Chase sketches” was notable by its absence in the sequel.
If you read the books you would know Chevy Chase was a terrible choice to play Fletch. I loved all the books and was really excited when they were making the movie until I found out it was Chevy playing him because he was nothing like the character in the book. I ended up enjoying the movie because I didn’t watch it with the Fletch character in mind because it was so far off. Hamm might be a little closer to the book character, but he’s not really right either.
I have heard that about the books. I never read them. Maybe that's why I loved the movie (the sequel was disappointing... very derivative).
That movie was a genuine atrocity. It was such a traumatic experience for me that I'd forgotten it when somebody asked about worst movies or the like.
I always thought more like a Matthew McConaughey...someone really good looking and laid back.
