There’s two English guys driving around the United States on a road trip with an alien voiced by Seth Rogen. . I was extremely tempted to ask him to be in this [movie]. He’s like the smartest guy in the room, except he’s not as smart as he thinks he is. What’s consistent in all of the Fletch books is Gregory Mcdonald enjoyed a certain amount of satire and social commentary. Jon has these WASP-y good looks, and in the story he’s going to sneak into yacht clubs and upscale art galleries and rich people’s homes. Jon came to me: “Would you ever be interested in doing a Fletch film?” I said, ‘Well, I have a lot of affection for the ‘Fletch’ movie, but I haven’t read the books.” So I went off and read about five or six, including “Confess, Fletch.” The character himself was this kind of great wish fulfillment — wouldn’t it be nice to walk through life saying whatever you want to people?

Lorenza Izzo & Annie Mumolo Interview: Confess, Fletch (Screen Rant)

Actors Lorenza Izzo and Annie Mumolo chat with Screen Rant about the similarities they share with their characters in the new comedy film.

It's something inside of me that Angela embodies that I was able to then extend and create that with it. While investigating a case of valuable stolen paintings, the roguishly charming and endlessly troublesome Fletch becomes the prime suspect in a murder. I do have some of Angela in me, for sure. There's something that happens when you play a larger-than-life character who's quite fearless and sure of themselves, and just kind of knows what her place is in the world in a way that I wish I had more of. So, for me, it's a piece of myself that I bring to each one. For Angela, I had a similar feeling of freedom in playing her. I think the best way to describe her is just kind of chaotic. It's just very freeing to play somebody who just doesn't have that. So you go around in there, and then you pull from yourself to play. I've been a fan of Jon's for a very long time. It was so much fun to play somebody who just doesn't care. [30 Rock]where he plays the boyfriend, and then his stint in Larry David...he's always had an incredible humor to him.

Capsule Film Reviews: “Confess, Fletch,” “Clerks III,” and “Pearl.” (Newnan Times-Herald)

By The Newnan Times-Herald; |; Sep. 16, 2022 - 9:08 AM. Capsule Film Reviews: “Confess, Fletch,” “Clerks III,” and. Reviews By: Jonathan W. Hickman.

Her husband (also Pearl’s father, played by Matthew Sunderland) is confined to a wheelchair and unable to communicate due to the effects of the Spanish Flu. The farm is a depressing environment for stargazing Pearl that’s only made worse because her husband, Howard (Alistair Sewell), has shipped out to Europe to help the allies in World War I. However, the engrossing sentiment is short-lived, as the film’s conclusion leaves us happy to say goodbye to the “Clerks” franchise. “Clerks III” takes a good 30 minutes to engage the viewer. Time hasn’t been kind to the “Clerks” universe. The distinctive-looking actress impressed audiences in March in (SPOILER ALERT!) a surprising dual role in this horror franchise’s introductory outing. In “Confess,” Fletch (Jon Hamm) returns to the United States after spending time in Italy. Hopefully, Hamm will get an opportunity to continue in the role as more Fletch adventures are brought to the screen. One of the film’s funniest gags is that the video store located in the same strip mall as the convenience store is now a marijuana dispensary run by Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith). Instead of dialing 911, he calls the administrative line to give a detective the details. “Confess, Fletch” is an update of the novel of the same name. Alas, we may never see Smith’s vision on screen, but in the meantime, “Superbad” director Greg Mottola’s “Confess, Fletch” should whet the appetite of ravenous fans.
