What did you think of Fletcher?

I totally agree. While it might be felt by many that Michael Richards came out the breakout star (due to his subsequent casting in Seinfeld), McCarthy, as you said, stole every scene he was in. He played a special kind of nasty.

Fletcher was hilarious. His name should have been Felcher, but Weird Al works clean. It blew my mind when I saw Kevin McCarthy, the actor who played Fletcher in the movie "Kansas City Bomber". He played it straight in that movie.

I felt bad for him. Here he is this hard working entrepreneur/job creator who is attacked and destroyed by some lazy good for nothing who is just handed a TV station by his degenerate gambler of an uncle. This film represents everything that is wrong with America.
