The premise for an enjoyable buddy comedy is there, but the execution is too tired to pull many laughs out of the film. Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy are charming and their chemistry ekes out its share of smiles from a parade of substandard scenes. The problem is, eventually, the film's holey and cliched plot and paper-thin supporting characters start to overwhelm the natural comedic timing of its leads. Add a tacked on, unearned moralistic conclusion and Identity Thief is merely a middle of the road, slightly amusing typical road trip comedy. |

This movie was cheasy and totally predictable but the comedy was pretty good. Melissa McCarthy was phenomenal. I love how confident she is and you can tell she just loves to act and make people laugh. I wouldn't see it again but it was a cute little movie. |

Everyone in this movie plays their part perfectly. The only problem with the movie is that it's pretty much your typical road-trip comedy. They start out hating each other, and by the end of the movie they're BFF's. |

Decent comedic endeavor! |

Identity Thief review |
|
Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman) gives his information to Diana (Melissa McCarthy). Diana utilizes the information and uses credit cards under Sandy's name. The idea of an employed guy gives his whole private information to a total stranger on a phone was just too unbelievable. Somebody run over and can still walk was just ludicrous. A decent comedy that has its moments some felt forced though. The drama and plot of the convict wanting to kill her just confuses, which adds to another genre. Identity Thief boasts the talents of a Melissa McCarthy but fails to bring in the heart of story since from the beginning, her character was too ruthless and just impossible to reform just by hearing the kids of Sandy. It's not enough reason to change her criminal acts all of a sudden. |

Identity Thief (2013) Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman) discovers that his identity has been stolen, and it’s causing him a world of problems. Sandy finds out that the identity thief is a woman named Diana (Melissa McCarthy) and that she is living large in another state. So, Sandy goes on a road trip to hunt down Diana and bring her back to clear his name. This film just isn't funny, and it’s a film that desperately wants you to like the two main characters, but you never really connect to either of them. The first twenty minutes, and yes it takes that long to set up the premise, feel more like a drama or a horror film, as it is really scary how quickly Sandy’s identity is stolen and how quickly his life gets torn to shreds. The plot is full of holes the size of Montana, and there are “... |
