FLYPAPER

The writers of The Hangover team up with the director of The Lion King.... um...... O.K... that's a pretty weird combo and the movie is called Flypaper. The premise is good, two separate robberies are pulled on the same bank at the same time. One group is after the safe while the other is after the ATMs... rather than a shootout they agree to work at the same time in different areas of the bank. The hostages are kept in an office and one of them is a neurotic genius who frantically tries to figure out why the two robberies were pulled at precisely the same time. This is a fun movie. It droops a couple of times but the running time is short and the plot devices are amusing enough to hold interest. Patrick Dempsey did grind on me with his over-performance but the chubby security guard character kept me laughing. One of his lines had me pissing myself "give one blowjob in prison and you never live it down [pause] Never!". ROFL. So yeah, this movie came from nowhere and was released directly to dvd. If you see it around, it's worth watching.
