    Identity Thief

    by

    Loved it from start to finish, very relatable characters and very funny. The action was great too. Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy are force to be reckoned with. They explosive and hilarious together, just the right chemistry. The plot moved along well and was well written. This movie is for comedy fans alike but don't take my word for it, see it for yourselves.

    Not funny

    by Dana.lives

    Melissa McCarthy was great in Bridesmaids and she brings the same character to this movie. Unfortunately the gags that worked in a brief scene don't make for an hour and a half film. She's simply vulgar, un attractive in personality, and its hard to find the pushed upon sympathy the film tried for at the end. Supporting cast is great and Jason Bateman makes any film worth seeing. I tried to like this movie but it simply wasn't funny: it was vulgar. A decent Redbox rent but I'm disappointed we spent money to see this at the theater.

    VERY FUNNY !

    by

    Great date movie!! me & my fiance' went to see for Valentines Day & he was a bit hesitant because he thought Jason Bateman may be dry & the movie might me corny..butttttttt.... HE LOVED IT & its a comedy / min drama/ message kind of a movie. Had some sorta sad, downer moments, but right when you wanna grab that tissue, Mrs. McCarthy in true form brings you to tears of LAUGHTER !! this is the FUNNIEST i have ever seen Jason Bateman, & it was quiet refreshing! I know the "society of CRITICS" do not like it, but HELLO, when they usually "RAVE" about a movie most folks usually HATE IT ! lol, i think secretly they get paid to hype a movie up ! lol, guess the creators of Identity Theft did not get that memo & said screw em & their uptight, have no sense of humor behinds ! :) I say go see it & you will definitely get many laughs & enjoyment ! & WHO DOESNT WANNA FEEL JOYFUL ??? :)

    Very Funny ... Melissa makes the movie!

    by joshcranford

    Not every movie is an Oscar contender... This movie delivered plenty of laughs and some heartfelt / tender moments. We are already big fans of the cast, most especially Melissa .... She is a great physical and visually expressive comic. Yes, these movies are a bit predictable, but there is enough fun here to make this a very enjoyable movie.

    Major Disappointment

    by LA_Snowman

    Identity Thief isn't even a "wait til it comes out on DVD" .... it's a "don't wait your time, you'll miss nothing" movie. I was expecting 2 hours of laugh out loud moments -- the theater was totally silent. It was lame. The jokes didn't work, the plot was stupid, the script was cheesy, and despite the best efforts of Justin Bateman and Melissa McCarthy, the movie just sucked. After about an hour, you just want it to be over. Totally disappointing.

    Much more to it than the trailer

    by jjmiller0

    This is a very humorous movie; there are lots of parts to laugh out loud at. There is also a very serious story in there that is good also. If you go and don?t like it you have absolutely no sense of humor. I?ve never been accused of that. People who go with me are embarrassed by how much and how loud I laugh.

    Identity Thief

    by jackieweiss

    I loved the movie. At first I didn't know what to think but the minute the movie starting I couldn't stop laughing for an hour and a half. It was the best movie I have seen in theaters and the best comedy I have ever seen. I recommend to anyone who wants to see a good comedy or just a great movie.

    Right level of expected funny

    by hdbroomhilda

    It was funny in the newly expected level of humor associated with Melissa McCarthy, and Justin Bateman did a good job in his straight man role. It was good to see several other well known tv or movie people pop up throughout the show. The buzz kill here was the parents who brought their 10-14 year old boys to see this R rated movie. No appropriate for that age; hence the R rating.

    Hilarious!

    by

    I went by myself, and normally when I do that, films seem toNOT be as funny. However, I found myself wheezing and snorting! Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman have great comedic chemistry and though you can predict the direction the movie takes, it still gets you. One of a few I would actually go see again instead of waiting for the video release.

    Hmmmmm...

    by

    It was funny, I will give it that.
    What I like to do when rating movies is to use a scale like "Must see" and "Wait for Video" and "No Way In Hell". This movie is a solid "Wait for Video". Although I enjoyed the film, laughed quit a bit, it was kinda predictable. Melissa McCarthy stole the main role from Jason Bateman in this film by just plain being funnier. Jason had his moments and you do feel for the guy but Melissa was a riot.
    I think I will create a new category just because of this film - "Definitely Rent It When It Comes Out For Video".

    Hilarious!!

    by 24KRhodes

    Absolutely hilarious movie. My wife and I have been looking forward to seeing this movie since the first time we saw the previews. It absolutely lived up to our expectations and then some!! We also liked the (mostly) realistic ending that made the movie more believable.

    This movie is NOTHING like the preview

    by vandyaaj

    The preview the frames the movie as a hilarious comedy. The preview gives you 100% of the humor in the movie. Other than that, it's a not very good action movie with some strange dramatic elements. It certainly has a feel-good aspect to it, but the vast majority of the movie s just uncomfortable to watch.

    Good-worth seeing if fan of Jason Bateman

    by skatecraz

    Jason Bateman really carries the comedy, so for any fans of his other movies or Arrested Development, he delivers some hilarious punchlines that reminisce of all the other similar roles which he has played so well. If you consider the course of events in the movie it is definitely engaging enough to see through the end, and there is a quite hilarious chemistry between the two main characters.
