A Bit of a Wicked Sticky: a review of The Sticky

The Sticky is “The absolutely not true story of the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist.” If that disclaimer sounds familiar, think “The names have been changed to protect the guilty.” It’s not the only element that will remind you of the classic Coen Brothers’ movie, Fargo. It has the same recipe of idiosyncratic characters caught up in an increasingly absurd and violent web of insane circumstances—and like Fargo, it is howlingly funny and utterly unforgettable.
