Why am I rating this nearly mediocre movie so high? Because being different is worth something. The plot seemed to be unique to me. I get tired of the same old plots and plot devices, and this one seemed really strange in a good way, which more than made up for the obvious plot holes and pretty average acting. Some of the script lines were pretty entertaining too. Overall, a short film that I enjoyed because it was so unusual and weird, not because it was great or compelling art. My suggestion is that you're only risking 87 minutes, so you can give it a try, and if doesn't hold your attention, just cut it short. For me personally, it was an unconventional movie that happened to be a pleasant diversion.

All the way through Flypaper I couldn't help but think of another film - Botched. I knew nothing about it before I saw it and only watched it because there was nothing else. It was one of the most amusingly entertainingly silly films I've seen - until now.I also didn't know anything about Flypaper, but watched it anyway. Like Botched, it's about a bank robbery that goes wrong. This time, two sets of gangs try to rob a bank. That, in itself, is a recipe for disaster. However, the hostages are a bunch of misfits and there might even be a deeper conspiracy going on here.I'm not going to say too much about it as I don't want to give anything away. All I'll say is that Flypaper has more humour than most comedies. More twists than most thrillers and a better story than most high-budget blockbusters (oh, and it does all that with less famous faces than the majority of Hollywood's output).Flypaper is not to be taken seriously. It certainly doesn't set out to be so. It is, however, a great chuckle. A rare and cheap gem among faceless giants of films.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

This film had all the ingredients and potential to be something memorable, but in the end it petered out to a rather average and predictable ending.It just felt a little bit rushed, almost like it was paced a bit too fast, and it rushed to its conclusion rather than adding a few more scenes and developing the characters and plot a bit more effectively - at times the frenetic pace of the movie literally left you trying to figure out what exactly was happening (and I don't mean in the good sense, but rather in the 'I've lost track of whose where, doing what' sense).In fact the speed at which this movie is executed is exactly why it becomes obvious that one particular character is not the bad guy - sure, the accusation is made but the editing just doesn't leave any room for audience doubt, thus causing any possible suspense to be stripped from that scene.The other area where this film falls down (and majorly so in my opinion) is with the constant f-bombs (and worse, at one point) - it is literally every second word for several of the characters, and as a result it becomes really jarring and starts to distract the viewer from the movie. I guess someone though it would add humor to the film, but in the end it actually becomes a tiring distraction. Overuse of the F word is often a sign of a lack of comedic acting ability, which is exactly the case in this movie. You'll notice that the two hillbilly bank robbers are the most comically well crafted characters in the film, and yet they use the f-word very sparingly. Both actors are comedians by nature, and their skill is what carries the performance, not a cheap recourse to excessive f-bombs.Had all the makings of a classic comedy, but in the end it just failed to launch.

I watched it and I think it gets undeserved praise here. A so so, irritating comedy and a so so "bank robbery thriller". It is frantically energetic, even too much, with all the characters shouting most of the time. It is overly convoluted and too "smart" for its own good. Judd, who I adore, has little to do here and it is a shame. Such a wonderful actress and with such a lovely face and voice, it seems there are no good roles for her anymore, with her closing on on 40 and all. Dempsey is good and has a lot to do in it, but the entire premise is forced and artificial, probably looked good on paper but as a film all looked phony. Wait till it's for rental on DVD, or even better try to watch it for free. An easily forgettable film and mediocre entertainment, overall.
