Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Maiden Heist is a 2009 comedy film starring Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, William H. Macy, and Marcia Gay Harden.Roger (Walken) is a member of the security team of a prominent art museum, though much of the time his attentions are focused solely on one painting: "The Lonely Maiden". His obsession is such that it affects his relationship with his wife, Rose (Harden). Charles (Freeman) works in guest relations and has a similar fascination with another painting, and George (Macy) is a night watchman who is perhaps too familiar with a particular statue. When they hear that their exhibits are due to be shipped off to a museum in Denmark, they team up to keep it from happening. After numerous canned plans, they decide to steal the paintings during the move and switch forgeries in their place. Hilarity Ensues.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Was originally supposed to be released theatrically, but the bankruptcy of its distributor forced it to be sent directly to DVD. | |

Book-Ends: The film opens with Roger staring at the painting in question. A guard in the museum in Denmark acts the same way with the forgery. | |

Crazy Cat...Man?: Charles's obsession with his painting has led to his hoarding of many, many cats; he is a rare male invocation of this trope. | |

Accentuate the Negative: When the three have collected their forgeries, each one knows that they aren't perfect despite their flawless appearance. George is the first to realize that it's because they're so obsessed with their individual pieces that they just know something is amiss; it has nothing to do with their quality at all. | |
