It starts by posing the question, "what happens when 2 groups try to rob the same bank at the same time?" And gets more interesting from there.
It's very original and plot twists abound.
I didn't laugh as much as I would have liked. Too many of the funny bits are in its trailer that I saw recently. But its Who-dunnit aspect more than made up for that for me.
Still, if you happen upon Flypaper's preview while watching something else I recommend skipping it.
The cast is excellent. The bigger names are Patrick Dempsey, Ashley Judd, Jeffrey Tambor, Tim Blake Nelson, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Mekhi Phifer... and Curtis Armstrong (We have a Curtis Armstrong sighting!! Awesome!!). But everyone pulls his/her weight very well.
In the spirit of full disclosure, this was written by the 2 guys who gave us The Hangover. It differs from that movie in several ways. Probably the most important being 1) Flypaper seems to be written for people older than 15, and 2) Flypaper is good.

I shoulda mentioned: this movie is rated R for its abusive language and some abusive behavior (shooting).
