    Will it get better?

    by oputo

    That was the question I asked over and over. The best scenes were in the trailers. There a few good parts, but they were separate buy parts that just left me shaking my head.

    A Must See!

    by StephP86

    I was a little apprehensive about this movie but I absolutely love Melissa McCarthy and knew I had to go. I am so glad I saw it! I couldn't stop laughing the entire movie! GO SEE IT!

    Freakin' Hilarious!!!!

    by ktloper

    Definitely not for kids, but this is one of the most funniest movies I've seen in a while!! Jason Bateman is great and Melissa McCarthy, although raunchy at times was hilarious!! The whole audience laughed out throughout the movie. Several sentimental moments but comedic for sure!! You'll laugh so much, you'll be crying!! Have fun!!

    meh...

    I only laughed two or three times. It wasn't as funny as the commercials showed it to be. If you want to take your teenager to see this, its OK, it should be PG-13.

    This Movie is just plain funny as heck

    by Yeller Dawg

    This movie was a non stop laugh from beginning to end. Jason Bateman was great as the fraud victim and Mellissa McCarthy was hillarious as usual. Melissa McCarthy is clearly the female version of Chris Farley as for her size she is pretty light on her feet. It was well worth the price of admission and cant wait to watch it again when it is on demand.

    Identity thief is a must.

    by Nitenurse77

    We did not stop laughing from the time the movie started till it ended. Mc Carthy is hysterical and Bateman is the perfect partner to back up the humor. A lot of slap stick which I love. Do not recommend small children seeing this due to the frequent swearing and sexual references. I highly recommend this just to go have a good gut wrenching laugh...do it you'll live longer.

    Yes please

    by

    I love Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman, so of course I really enjoyed this movie. If a movie makes me laugh so much hard that I lose all muscle function and tears stream down my face uncontrollably then I consider it a huge success. This movie did that for me.

    If you want to laugh.....this is the movie to see!

    by

    This is a very funny movie. Lots of physical comedy as well. Has only a scene or two that you might not want children to see, and some bad language. Definately OK for older children (in my opinion). Some heart warming moments too. Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy do an excellent job beating each other up. Melissa is perfect as the sociopath of epic proportions. Jason's character is similar to his "Hancock" character. They have good comic chemistry together. The bar scene where she picks up a cowboy (played by Eric Stonestreet) is especially funny. If there is a moral, it would be not to ever give your personal information to anybody over the phone!

    Pretty Good!

    by triceei

    Melissa & Jason were excellent playing off of each others comedic skills. I thought the movie was fun, light-hearted and enjoyable. The scene when they were in the car and she was singing is hilarious; as well as when she was at the bar with the Modern Family guy! It was just an overall pretty darn funny movie.

    Trailer is way funnier than a movie

    by levinaz

    So like the title of this review "Trailer of this Movie" was funnier than this movie. The other thing is this movie is way too long. Too many "Corny" moments.

    So its just ok.

    Funny Actors Save Bad Script

    by pedsarq

    There's no denying that the two leads have chemistry and talent. There's plenty of physical comedy and the actors perform with terrific timing. What's missing here is a good story and good lines for them to deliver. Don't expect any memorable lines or scenes. The movie is funny because Bateman and MaCarthy are funny and good together. Unfortunately, that's only enough for those in the mood to enjoy it, but not anyone with a discerning eye.

    Predictable, but worth the laugh

    by

    Identity thief was a good movie. It's a predictable movie, but it's certainly worth seeing for the jokes. I love Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy. They are both hilarious actors and I like watching any movie they are in. It's certainly not a movie for kids, but that's self-explanatory in the rating.

    Very funny!

    by mlott20

    This is SUCH A FUNNY MOVIE!!! Only reason I didn't give it a "must go" is because i wasn't laughing the ENTIRE time...just most of the time.

    Funny the whole way through

    by

    This was a great movie. It kept me laughing the entire way through unlike most modern comedies that only have a few good scenes. If you haven't seen it yet, you need to. Watch out for the throat jab.
