Flypaper (2011)

Flypaper (2011)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Rob Minkoff
Starring: Patrick Dempsey, Ashley Judd, Tim Blake Nelson
Running time: 87 minutes



Two groups of criminals, one more organized than the other, try to rob the same bank at the same time. Nothing goes as planned and the two groups will have to contend with each other and with the employees of the bank they are keeping as hostages.

Though this movie depicts a crime and goes the “who-done-it” route as the story evolves, it is played for laughs. What it becomes is a slapstick murder mystery; unfortunately, not a very funny one. The acting is extremely uninspired, even by such names as Jeffrey Tambor, who is often so funny. As for the story, there is nothing much to tell. By the end of it, you just have to wonder what the point of it all was.
