Product Description
From the writers of The Hangover, Patrick Dempsey (Valentine’s Day, Enchanted) and Ashley Judd (Tooth Fairy) star in this all out action heist comedy caper. A man caught in the middle of two simultaneous robberies at the same bank desperately tries to protect the teller with whom he's secretly in love.
Tripp Kennedy (Patrick Dempsey) ambles into a bank near closing time, just as two different gangs unwittingly converge to rob it. A shoot-out erupts, and Tripp tackles the smart, pretty teller (Ashley Judd), to protect her. The gangs—one clearly made up of pros and the other a couple of buffoons named Peanut Butter (Tim Blake Nelson) and Jelly (Pruitt Taylor Vince) - have deadlocked themselves in a Mexican standoff. The bank’s security system starts the end of day lockdown and seals everyone into the building. As the night evolves, a hilarious game of cat and mouse ensues as Tripp and Kaitlin try to save the day, escape being killed, and avoid falling in love... almost.

In some respects - reviewing this movie will do you (the viewer) a disservice. Why? Because I don't want to spoil it for you...
Suffice to say that I found "Flypaper" hugely entertaining - one of those unheralded little gems that somehow slipped through the cinema net.
Without giving too much away - imagine the Coen Brothers doing a bank-job/heist movie - but with most twists than Chubby Checker - and you're mostly there.
"Flypaper" is constantly funny and employs a craftily written plotline that will have you guessing and giggling right to the very satisfying end.
The large ensemble cast are uniformly great (Tim Blake-Nelson especially enjoying himself - dialogue above) and the set pieces are at times brilliant and ballbreakingly funny.
This is what "The Hangover Part II" should have been and 'so' wasn't.
I thought the BLU RAY picture was good rather than great - but I was enjoying myself so much - it really wasn't that much of a distraction.
So - dig out your acetylene torch, don your goggles, blast that deadbolt - and enjoy.
Cracking little film - put "Flypaper" high on your to buy/rental list...

A mix a pretty well actived characters and some very poor. As the highlight states, it's querky. Not actually funny, in my opinion. The ending, and main point of the film, seems rushed - you'll understand what I mean if you watch it, I didn't want to give away any main themes in this blurb.

Ashley Judd is an actress who is undervalued in Hollywood and when I saw her included in the great cast listing for this, I had to check it out. Directed by Rob Minkoff who is reasonably well known for kids/family movies like The Lion King and Stuart Little, Flypaper turned out to be a fun comedy heist movie which was very well paced and had some good twists (though I managed to guess the ending early on). There is a great mix of characters, the plot is quite tight and some of the humour was perfect for the moment (like checking each others rankings on the most wanted website). If you're a fan of heist movies with a bit of comedy added to it, I have to recommend this. It's nothing new, but it's entertaining. 3.5/5
