Mildly funny, decently entertaining. Flypaper is a campy heist movie blended with frail and desperate extractions from 'Clue' (1985).
Patrick Dempsey tries really really hard but falls flat. He doesn't pull off the neurotic type well at all. He has his moments...or...a moment rather. It would've been much better had he channeled his best performance as Ronald Miller from 'Can't Buy Me Love' (1987) instead of his more popular role, Dr. McDreamy from 'Grey's Anatomy.'
Ashley Judd is insignificant because the character is so bland there's not much anyone can do with it. It's so bland I can't think of anything else to say!
There are recognizable faces, Mekhi Phifer, Jeffrey Tambor, Oscar winner Octavia Spencer, and Curtis Armstrong otherwise affectionately known as "Booger" from the 'Revenge of the Nerds' franchise. Sadly, the recognizable cast adds to the predictability of it all.
The stereotypes are heavy and unimaginative. The movie is rushed which contributes to the lack of chemistry among the entire cast. It was almost hilarious; unfortunately it's just a nice little flick to watch while you're you're doing something else, like making dinner or writing emails, etc.
On a scale of 1-10, Flypaper: 6.0
