People pick apart how "unrealistic" little tiny things are and give a movie a bad rating for that. Lighten up, sit back, relax and let yourself have fun for a couple hours.
I promise you will enjoy this movie if you do. The first 10 minutes were nothing special and there weren't really any jokes to be had because they are basically just setting the scene for you. But once Jason Batemans character finds Melissa McCarthy's character, it gets really going and you pretty much laugh until the end. I appreciated that there were a couple sentimental moments in there too. Yes, it is a lot of physical comedy not to be confused with slap-stick , but there's plenty of good jokes in there to keep you laughing too.
To me, the timing was really spot on and didn't drag out the road-trip part for an eternity or leave any loose ends.
I really loved the way they ended it too, though I won't say how. I think it was really well done and had everything I'm looking for in a comedy not ridiculously stupid like the "Scary Movie" type movies and not boring. I honestly can't wait to see it again next week.
One of the Best Comedies I've Ever Seen by jpr-reardon Do not listen to others who may say that this movie was garbage or not good. I went to this movie with a few of my friends and the theater was packed. Melissa Was hysterical the whole entire movie and pardon my french she had me laughing my ass off to the point of embarrassment.
The movie had a really good story-line, one that was original and new. That's my Job! Add Jason Bateman and Melissa Mcarthy and there's a couple more stars.
I added a star just because I think a lot of the poorer reviews were unfair to this really good movie! I see a good 20 movies before I come to one that I can give more than 5 stars. We almost didn't go see this because of some of the more negative reviews Great movie! How he kept a straight face throughout the filming is beyond me! There were two parts where I cried The rest was just really funny. Go see this movie! Bateman and McCarthy Funny Chemistry! As she plays a, you guess it And really does not think and ignore the lives she is affecting.
As Bateman's mild mannered family man character, is not just looking at jail time but also with facing the loss of his new job after he and some friends started their own company. As she proves more problems for him as he is at his wit's end and could lose everything. Still a great time and really Bateman and McCarthy make a funny couple as hope that they can reunite again for another funny movie.
Not Enough Credit by closesquarters Strange! Definitely not a great film. Good film Jason Bateman is truly an actor one is compelled to watch Enter Robert Patrick and this film can't be ignored. Identity thief has some great acting in it Playing a jerk for most of the film, Melissa McCarthy shows her range. I really hated her Jason Bateman, as in "Arrested Development," continues to play the character we love to love.
But he always seems to get the raw end of the deal. Because the law enforcement of Denver has a cockamamie list of rules they adhere to, not arresting or even researching Diana's records since she lives in Winter Park, Florida, Sandy decides to take matters into his own hands by going down to Florida to nab Diana and get her to confess to law enforcement and to his boss to remain secure in his life again.
He assumes that because of Diana's pudgy nature, she'll be an easy catch, until he finds that she's a violent, dangerous menace that is almost frighteningly haunted and mentally off balance. Not only that, but both are being pursued by a witless debt collector and two other assassins that want both dead for the crimes they've committed or allegedly committed. What ensues is a predictable, uneven road comedy between the two, with two actors swimming in potential, but wasting it in a comedy of tired errors.
Jason Bateman can play straight characters in obscure worlds in a beautiful way see Extract for reference , and Melissa McCarthy showed that being gross can be funny in Judd Apatow's Bridesmaids. Both of their schticks begin to show signs of wear as Identity Thief haplessly approaches the hour mark and many laugh-inducing situations have been proposed but none of them fully exercising them.
Gordon's previous film was Four Christmases, a film that wasn't as mawkish and oversentimentalized as it could've been. While it still accentuated a rather negative relation to the holiday of Christmas and was part of the genre I just spoke of, it still kept its premise concise and did not overcompensate its material to a ghastly overlong length.
Identity Thief does the opposite. Its unnecessary sequences involving overweight people having intercourse and public humiliation are got from the drearily immature cloth I'm growing ever-so fond of laying in when I watch comedies.
Yet the film really drops the ball when it attempts to make Diana a character we're supposed to feel bad for after all her menace, violent nature, unjustifiable cruelty, and not to mention, her willingness to commit crimes of sheer carelessness.
She is so loathsome that it isn't that her dramatic instances where her character receives humanization fall flat, but it's that she's proved herself to be such a smug, arrogant, astronomically mean-spirited character that it's like trying to accept a friend back after he's taken advantage of you numerous times. You feel cheated, used, and now, foolish to consider accepting them back into your life. Identity Thief unfortunately subjects its leads into joyless, gimmicky physical schtick, frequent car chases, and sorely unfunny scenes that evoke the least common denominator of juvenile humor.
