    Horrible - LEFT 50 painful mins in.

    by mwells

    Had high hopes this would turn out like the movie "The Change Up" with Jason Bateman, unfortunately I was greatly disappointed. My husband and I got up and left 50 mins into the movie and we both agreed it felt like we had been there for 2 hours already.

    Silly Good Time

    by tobiloh

    My boyfriend and I loved it! So many comedies have come out recently that try just too hard (e.g. Movie 43), thank goodness not this one! Effortlessly funny, and wonderful characterization really makes this film a Must Go!

    Melissa absolutely makes this movie -- not once does it turn too mushy, and the ending is actually pretty realistic!

    Super funny

    by shyshy808

    Melissa has done it again. First of all I totally love her acting. Her personality is so bright that she brings something special to each movie she does. This movie kept me laughing the whole time. Honestly their wasn't a dull moment. I enjoyed all of the actors/ actress in this movie. If your looking for a hella funny movie to watch than I suggest watching identity thieft. You will not be disappointed, trust me.

    Save your money

    by LutherB55

    Bateman plays a moron who gives his SS # to a thief ignorant enough to broadcast her location. I found this movie boring, with only a few chuckles; hardly worth the ticket cost.

    This movie is not suitable for children. For that matter, it's not fit for adults.

    Identity Thief

    by gildaguerrero

    Melissa is hilarious and is wonderful to see slapstick at the theater again. I laughed so much my stomach hurt but I was also worried that the trailers would have given away all the story. It was a wonderful time, we all need laughter in our llives.

    I would rather have my identity stolen than watch this movie

    by DickDastardly

    I am joking of course, but I just can't believe how people on this site review and rate movies. How can people rate this movie as a Go or Must Go? There is nothing good to report here. The majority of the funny scenes were already spoiled by the trailer, and I can count them on one hand. Other random things - all negative: Jon Favreau is noted as one of the lead actors but his appearance is mostly cameo for all of about 30 seconds; follows the same theme as Due Date but nowhere as good or funny (this movie has a been there-done that feel); I noticed very few people laughing - the almost full theater was eerily quiet throughout the movie. Frankly, this movie is just not very funny, and it was 2 hours of my life wasted. .

    Identity Thief

    by Moviedguy1

    If you're looking for a romp with multiple "laugh out loud" scenes, good coherence
    of plot and a bit of appropriately placed sentimentality, this is your film!
    Melissa McCarthy is brilliantly funny using both her physical comedy and her well-honed
    stand-up ad lib skills to supply the films biggest laughs; this only works playing off Jason Bateman's straight man act, whcih is the best in the business after Ben Stiller.
    T.I,, Robert Patrick and Eric Stonetreet all deliver good performances in supporting roles
    with some character depth, while John Cho and Amanda Peet, good actors in thier own right, cannot overcome the shallowness of their scripted roles.
    All in all this is a fun movie I would highly reccomend.

    Funny

    by

    The movie was what I expected which was full of laughter. The beginning did start off kind of slow but once the character of Melissa McCarthy comes out, it all turns around. Can't wait to buy it on DVD.

    Almost walked out

    by weslowik

    First half of movie was rough to watch, some of the humor was not my style. Second half of the movie seemed to be much evenly done and I even laughed a few times. This having been said, the audience in the theater seemed to enjoy the first half more than I did. 3/5 stars

    Identity Thief

    by rajomo

    It was funny and cetainly gave me some laughs but I would not recomment bringing children as some of the scenes are very graphic and not for youngsters. I saw people there with kids and thought to myself that was not a very good idea. I have a friend that went to see it with her 12 year old daughter and she said she never should have taken her.

    Identity Theif

    by gar_glo

    On the end family visting while in prison. Told the girls not to go in the wood or forest because of a bear with cornrows. This is a radical slur. Bad

    Great way to spend a couple of hours!

    by Nlmomo1

    Justin Bateman and Melissa McCarthy are fantastic together! We started laughing early and continued laughing till the end. So many little surprises that weren't ruin by the previews. Highly recommend for great night's entertainment.

    Great Duet

    by LadyB14

    The movie was certainly funny and at times took you for an emotional curve. The plot was not truly realistic but definitely morally sound. I recommend seeing it; it was worth the buck!

    Was NOT a let down.

    by zaidmorales

    I typically love all Jason Bateman movies because he?s hilarious. The movie was funny and delivers laughs. Although I wouldn?t have died if I missed this in theaters, I?m still very happy I went.
