    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.

    Identity Poop

    by swaymbsc

    I love Jason Bateman but this movie sucked. It stole all of its ideas from the movies Midnight Run and Nothing To Lose. I literally laughed two times during the whole movie. Absolute poop, I barely give it a 4 out of 10.

    Identity Thief

    by isabeldoe

    It was very funny and made me laugh quite a bit. The anticipation on what Melissa was going to do next and how she was going to get out of was kind of suspenseful.

    "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" meets "48 Hours"

    by GumbyDamit

    This movie was exactly as my title suggests... a true hybrid of the two movies above. It was a good brainless fun evening... however, the residual mental images of the main charatcters (Melissa McCarthy) Burmuda Triangle have left me touch quesy. :-)

    Identity Theif

    by Ms. Nicolette

    Very cute film, the critics need to get a life and find humor in it or they are going to lose out on what life can really show them. Find laughter and stop being so judgemental. Very cute, very real in some instances--heart warming at the end. For those who haven't see it, go, you'll enjoy it.

    It's a must GO! Hilarious is an understatement! The moral to the story is everyone has a story. Overall A+. I was crying laughing. I'm going to see it again!

    Very Funny

    by adnet

    Laughed out loud on and off through entire movie. Wife and I were in the mood for laughs so it didn't take much. One of the few movies that the previews didn't have all the good parts in. Worth seeing but not a must go but better than a so-so. Some tuff language but still a good movie.

    Identity Theif

    by senior fan

    Was looking for a chuckle, and got a few. But somehow left a little disapointed. If I had to say I think it would have been better had they toned down the language, the *F.... word and made it a PG for the whole family. The physical comedy and sketches were often funny and the casting was perfect. Planes, trains and automobiles with Steve Martin and John Candy pulled it off.....it fell a little short here, but believe they should keep trying, the talent is there.

    A comedy that steals your heart

    by baldsheep8

    With great comedic performances from both of the leads this laugh filled romp it was surprising to find that it also tugged on my heart strings as well. Melissa McCarthy is a brilliant actor who brings a wonderful depth to a character that could have easily been two dimensional. I highly enjoyed this film and recommend it to anyone who's looking for a movie that delivers the laughs with substance.

    made me laugh

    by kelley french

    i am one of those people who cannot even look at melissa mccarthy without laughing. she seriously cracks me up. i'm not sure why, exactly....she just looks like someone who should be a friend. i also love jason bateman. so perhaps i am biased, but the movie was so much more enjoyable than anything else i have seen recently (of any genre). go see these kids, they're good.

    Funny movie

    by

    Will this movie challenge your mind? Will it make you think deep thoughts? No, but it was fun and made me laugh and we had a good time.

    Laughed our b*tts off! :)

    by MaryDTennis

    Melissa McCarthy is hysterical is this movie! There were four of us and we were laughing out loud for a good portion of the time....It was a bit dragged out towards the end, perhaps could have been about 20 minutes shorter, but it was worth the wait for the great ending!

    Funny, but a little too long

    by jstevens77

    The movie was really cute and very funny in parts. The only thing I would've liked better is if maybe one of the side stories was cut out to make it a little shorter. Other than that, it did not disappoint.
