Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
bajizs0911 If you want to waste your time, let's watch this awful movie. There is not a big story with terrible casts. The director want to make some funny moments, but I think these moments become awkward. In the end of the movie they want to show us a knack in the story line. Simple looks like a wrong scenario. At all I can say if I need to pay to watch this movie in the cinema I would was very nervous because it is a worthless something whatever I saw. I felt like to see this in the television a weekdays. The TV set in the midnight and I do not want to go to bad so this is the only reason to watched this. Never again. I have got only one question. The producers why not watch what they sponsored, or they spent little amount of money and they did not care about box office?
David_Brown If anyone likes fun and intelligent movies this is for you. It about Tripp Kennedy (Patrick Dempsey), who is a very neurotic person who walks into the bank to get change (a lot of change), and meets teller Kaitlin, and notices two things: Number One: She had wedding presents with her. Two: The bank was going to be robbed. Of course, he had no idea that TWO bank robberies would occur at the same time, by two very different sets of robbers. One were Rednecks with the nicknames of "Peanut Butter & Jelly" and the other were more sophisticated robbers (One was Jewish, the other British, and the last one African American). Of course, it turns out that Tripp, is a Sherlock Holmes type genius with an incredible attention to detail. Spoilers Ahead: What he figures out is besides the Robberies, there are other crimes involved, including a plan straight out of Agatha Christie's "10 Little Indians" is to knock off everyone in the bank by the top bank robber in the Country, Vicellus Drum, and no one is exactly who and what they seem (Including Kaitlin (which he lets her know about halfway through the movie)). Of course, (spoilers ahead), Tripp does end up with Kaitlin, but how he gets there,and finding out who is really Drum, and who survives and in some cases, actually thrives (besides Tripp), are what make this movie a lot of fun. 10/10 stars.
MovieSonic I can't remember why I decided to give this a go, I think it was a review on IMDb so I'll return the favour:I feel that the description of the film on IMDb is off-putting: "A man caught in the middle of two simultaneous robberies at the same bank desperately tries to protect the teller with whom he's secretly in love."That makes it sound like this is just a film about a guy trying to save a girl when it's so much more than that. To describe the plot any other way would reveal an important twist though so I can understand why the description is a bit vague.What I liked about the film was that the script was really good with realistic dialogue between the characters, it was very frequently funny and often laugh-out-loud funny (especially the security guard) and all of the actors fully committed to every scene.Whilst it's an indie film, they've done the clever thing of keeping costs down by having one location but enough action, humour and occasional explosions to keep you interested as well as a mystery element to the story which you are genuinely interested in.If you liked "Foolproof" (2003) with Ryan Reynolds then you will likely really enjoy this.There are slapstick elements, clever plot devices, and some creepy humour and although I did have to ask myself a few times 'why hasn't he killed this person/these people yet', it didn't bother me too much because by then the film had already established that it wasn't going for realism but just really fun entertainment.I would recommend watching this and give it 8/10.
secondtake Flypaper (2011)Rather than a spoof of a bank heist, this is pure silly comedy that uses bank heist clichés for its main jokes. And by silly I mean zany and childish--which is often very funny, if not exactly making it a great movie.In fact, this is sometimes a really bad movie, or it will be to anyone who doesn't get into the humor and the characters. Even the end, which is meant to be a huge twisty (and typical heist comedy) surprise ends up a bit of a dud. While still being fun.There are a lot of well known if not legendary actors here, including the attractive and fun leading man, Patrick Dempsey and the apparently leading woman (whose role is small at first), Ashley Judd. But it is the whole array of character actors who make this movie what it is, types and stereotypes playing clichés and counter-clichés. Most fun of all is the fact that two separate teams of bank robbers swoop in at closing time on the same bank. And with very different styles, to say the least.It gets silly from here--and I mean comic book kind of silly, though people really do get hurt and die as it carries merrily along. Don't expect much except some high energy escapism--and then you might enjoy the ride. I managed to watch it to the end without flagging. For the final big twist.
