I'm a big fan of Greg Mottola's work but his debut here is weak, unstructured, and not funny. Here he is finding his footing with Anna Meara overreacting, a plot that move too slowly, and punch lines that fail to connect.
On the positive side, Stanley Tucci, Liev Schreiber, and Campbell Scott turn in solid performances. Mottola's direction does frame Hope Davis beautifully throughout but none of this is enough to make this a very interesting film.
The best news is that Mottola's work has improved greatly over the years and I hope that "Confess, Fletch" is good.
