You know there's something wrong with a comedy when you'd rather see the main characters killed off than live happily ever after.

One thought that occurred to me while pacing myself through Flypaper: With the economy being what it is, will there be a rash of bank robbery movies?
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Rotten
A mighty thin and derivative slice of moviemaking.
Leah Rozen, TheWrap

It's a mess from start to finish, but there's still fun to be had in Rob Minkoff's caper comedy.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
In the end, there's just a roomful of decent character actors in search of a point. For them, the titular "Flypaper" may have simply been a paycheck.
