A poorly named off-beat comedy about two groups of bungling bank robbers, and a mysterious stranger that happens to be at the bank at the wrong time.
Patrick Dempsey plays the mysterious stranger. And Ashley Judd plays his love interest. At first watch this movie is quite appealing, but as it proceeds it becomes less so, till it’s incredibly annoying towards the end.
I felt our struggling story tellers were trying very hard to recapture the feel of a classic comedy by the name of Clue, based on the famous board game. Clue is a cult classic from 1985, and in my opinion one of the best comedies ever made. I’ve seen it many times, and know it well. And this sad piece of Flypaper has no hope in hell of coming close to giving us the same complex Clue shenanigans.
As for our stars, I’m not sure I’ve ever been impressed with Patrick Dempsey in any role, he is one of those actors that baffle me in his fame. Yet Ashley Judd seems to pull off most of her roles with grace.
As a whole, I was extra disappointed since the movie started off so well and promising.
5/10
