Una LaMarche Observer You know there's something wrong with a comedy when you'd rather see the main characters killed off than live happily ever after. Rated: 0/4 Aug 24, 2011 Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor One thought that occurred to me while pacing myself through Flypaper: With the economy being what it is, will there be a rash of bank robbery movies? Rated: C+ Aug 20, 2011 Full Review Leah Rozen TheWrap A mighty thin and derivative slice of moviemaking. Aug 19, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Any potential for mindless entertainment value is hampered by cliché characters driving a derivative scenario, which plays out to predictable, unconvincing ends that seem all too familiar and far less diverting than they should be. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk As the overly clever story unfolds, there are too many twist and turns to give the cast a chance to shine. Dec 5, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews There reaches a point, however, at which the rather limited nature of the movie's premise starts to become a problem...

Clinton B I cannot believe this movie has ratings as bad as it does. A mystery comedy done right, memorable moments that stick with you, and it’s a film that definitely has re-watchability. If I don’t agree with critical reviews, I can usually understand them at least. This movie is so criminally under-rated, that I’m convinced it’s somehow being sabotaged. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review isla s I quite enjoyed this film in terms of the two 'less than bright sparks' type characters present and some of the conversations held between different people. There is a definite slapstick/visual comedy element to this otherwise action crime film and I liked that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Also, its quite dialogue heavy but there are some action scenes, of course. I'm not a massive fan of heist films but this one I thought was entertaining enough to keep me watching and features a decent cast, with Patrick Dempsey and Octavia Spencer, among others. Its hardly a great film but its entertaining and ocassionally amusing and so I'd say its worth a watch if it really interests you, even though it seems others don't tend to be too keen on it. Thats my opinion, for whatever its worth. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member For all it's star-power, Flypaper doesn't have much sticking power. Somewhere between heist angst and kitschy comedy, it lands in a no man's land. Dempsey and Judd are the central characters, but don't have much chemistry while the double robbery goes down. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny with action and plot twists. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review kevin c I love a good heist movie, and this one tries to hard to be as twisty as possible and a bit to comedic for me especially for a heist. Littered with a great ensemble cast including Patrick Dempsey, Ashley Judd, Octavia Spencer and Tim Blake Nelson. While parts were enjoyable it quickly became grating rather than fun. Although the funny aspects were perfectly performed by Nelson and Pruitt Taylor Vince, overall it just didn't work that well in my opinion. Should have been a full on comedy as that was the best aspect. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was so good i likedi it very much Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
