I don’t like to discuss business on the Lanai

My friends abide with the fact that I like to call small rooms and anything resembling a porch a Lanai. About every sixth time my wife chuckles. She knows that my two main forms of humor are sarcasm and repetition.

While I loved Fletch as a child, Roger Ebert did not, “But whenever the movie threatens to work, there’s Chevy Chase with his monotone, deadpan cynicism, distancing himself from the material.” And he’s right. Perhaps not to this degree, but the actual character of I.M. Fletcher is far more suited to John Hamm and his particular skillset, energy, and John Hamm-ness. Brian Tallerico, taking almost the opposite approach of Ebert, ended with a similar review of the new film.

I’m no movie critic, but I also didn’t mind enjoying Confess, Fletch.

She is very distracted by Mr. Fletcher’s feet

And here, with textbook jotter placement and role, is Griz.

She has a medium-length role, perfect for the jotter placement.
