I love the original movies. This new installment actually looks really good.

Don Draper and Roger Sterling together again? I'm in!

We watched it earlier today on Paramount Plus. I was skeptical, but it was surprisingly good. I have not read the books but based on what I've read it's closer to the books than Fletch and Fletch Lives. There were moments when Hamm reminded me of Chevy Chase and Ryan Reynolds, but I never once thought he was imitating them. I chalk that up to being true to the books. I was impressed with Hamm.

Did you watch?.. what did you think.

I thought it was ok, but I felt Hamm's portrayal lacked the goofiness & charisma of Chase's version. And not having the Fletch theme music throughout, gave it a sort of emptiness. I read this version was more faithful to the book, but..

I haven't seen it yet. It hasn't yet hit any of the streaming services I have.

Ha, I haven't seen the recent one yet, but I can "picture" the music from the original and understand what you mean.

I always wanted to see Fletch and Axel Foley team up in a movie together. They still could, I guess.
