There are parts that are laugh out loud funny. I have no problem with the actors, just the writing. At times you have to suspend everything you know about reality. But isn't that why we go see movies?? To laugh, to cry, to be moved, and even to use our imagination?

OMG you must go and see this movie. It was such a funny movie. I laughed so hard at this movie. Jason and Melissa were fantastic in this movie. Its a must see.

So let's not over analyze this movie... just go! Great cast, too many unecessary villans, but stand out comedy performances by McCarthy and Stonestreet! Bateman always does a great job as the responsible, vanilla family man. A wild ride with many shenanigans along the way. One very funny adult scene, so don't take your young-uns!

Identity Thief breaks no new ground, but manages to entertain the requisite amount of time to be a fun and funny movie. It really straddles the line between a "so-so" and a "go" but I'll give it the green light as it will at the least keep a smile on your face. This movie does suffer from jokes that should have been left on the cutting room floor and from segments that just needed to be removed altogether. Some areas of the movie feel like filler and do nothing more than move the audience away from what they should be feeling for the characters. The most important element of Identity Thief that is seldom done right in comedies of this nature is the well executed resolution. Despite being disjointed and the cast suffering from the occasional unintentional identity crisis, Identity Thief wasn't horrible (bosses). If you like my reviews, add me as a fan. I'll add you back!

Melissa McCarthy has done it again! To me the movie was more than the typical farce/road trip saga, due to the talents of Ms. McCarthy. Just when the humor becomes overly broad, she will bring real emotion to the surface. Sure there are enough predictable plot points that we have all seen before. However, Ms. McCarthy and the wonderful Jason Bateman, bring a real human element that can take the viewer by surprise at the most unexpected moments. By the end, when the expected warm fuzzy brought real tears to my eyes, the last joke had me falling out of the chair in a fit of giggles. Will this movie change the world? No. Did it give me a nice break from a crappy week and enough giggles to reframe my outlook for awhile? YES. This will be one of the movies that goes on my list to see again and again on DVD when I need an attitude adjustment. Great use of limited funds and well worth the time to escape for a while.
