In Theaters : FLYPAPER (2011)

Official Synopsis : Tripp Kennedy (Patrick Dempsey) ambles into a bank near closing time, just as two different gangs unwittingly converge to rob it. A shoot-out erupts, and Tripp tackles the smart, pretty teller, Kaitlin (Ashley Judd), to protect her. The gangs -- one clearly made up of pros and the other a couple of buffoons -- have deadlocked themselves in a Mexican standoff. The bank's security system starts the end-of-day lockdown and seals everyone into the building. As the night evolves, a hilarious game of cat and mouse ensues as Tripp and Kaitlin try to save the day, escape being killed, and avoid falling in love...almost.


Genre: Comedy, Crime

What to Expect : A heist comedy that tries to breathe some life into the bank robbery plot with a lot of twists and an over-the-top display of acting abilities from its ensemble cast. Here's a solid clue about the movie : "From the writers of 'The Hangover'".

Critical Response : It's a limited release so reviews are scarce, but so far the reception is pretty much negative. Critics complained about the movie's uneven mix between heist movie and twisted comedy, and while the ensemble generates a silly kind of attraction towards the movie, it's ultimately not enough to make it unique. Rated 30% on Rottentomatoes.com from 3 positive and 7 negative reviews.
