'Sticky Fingers' is a very low-budget comedy. Although, the film gets caught in slow pace and the story seems to be struggling to work through plot holes and quick changes, the quirkiness of the characters and the abilities of the cast help it survive most of the flaws.
This the story of two silly young women, struggling musicians who regularly find themselves flat broke. Opportunity, of course, finds them (and, so the consequential events occur for a reasons), however, when one of their dope dealing friends suddenly asks them to babysit a bag of cash while she's out of the country for a few weeks. At first, the young women see this as a moment of unwanted emergency, until they figure out how to turn the situation into their opportunity (though going overboard).
Any smart person would know that the last thing you should be doing is getting greedy with dirty money. And these girls can hardly control their amusement after a while, which lands them in big trouble with the friend, a mysterious man who keeps following them, friends who don't want to get involved, and the problem of trying to recuperate the money unsuccessfully (numerous times).
The movie has its moments, especially towards the end when it seems like one calamity after another happens. The subplots involving the two young women's relationship follies tend to drag the story down, as do a few other unnecessarily slow-moving plot points. But overall, once the story gets off the ground, a good assortment of quirky characters fueled by a good cast, make it well-deserving of an audience. Fans, particularly, of the cast or obscure 80s b-movies should have fun with it (mostly female audiences).
If you like this, check out the 1982 indie comedy, "Blue Money," which stars Tim Curry as an impoverished aspiring actor who suddenly finds opportunity when his frequent client (he works part-time as a cab driver) leaves a suitcase full of cash in his car. Lacks the new wave 80s style of "Sticky Fingers," but they are similar plots.
