Cast: Jon Hamm, Roy Wood Jr., Ayden Mayeri, Lorena Izzo, Kyle MacLachlan, Annie Mumolo, John Behlmann, Anna Osceola, John Slattery, Lucy Punch, Marcia Gay Harden, Robert Picardo, Eugene Mirman, Kenneth Kimmins, Caitlin Zerra Rose, Aaron Andrade, Travis Bennett, Nhumi Threadgill.

Fletch lived, briefly but with all the attention that Chevy Chase could muster in the two adaptions made for cinema when he was one of the undisputed kings of American film. Fletch lived, but cinema can be fickle, it can just as quickly destroy as it can create, and after 1989’s Fletch Lives became but a distant memory there was probably no hope that Gregory McDonald’s popular creation would project its neo-noir investigative detective would be back to confront the sins of those without a sense of humour again.

To be given the opportunity to study the craft of a genius, that is surely all any writer or observer of life can ever hope to be gifted, and to be involved with one of Britain’s foremost political satirists and writers of modern farce, even in a viewing capacity, must be at the very least, sheer heaven.

Nobody can snap a finger and make you better; nobody can get inside your head and see the grief that assists the pain that the body feels.  When every movement feels like torture, even the briefest glimpse of something bright and hopeful only serves to remind what was lost. It is almost the perfect summing up for Jennifer Aniston’s latest film, Cake.
