Identity Thief

She's having the time of his life.


Identity Thief
A woman has been living the high life using a false identity to buy whatever she wants on credit. When the victim realises what's happening, he finds he has only one week to track down the imposter before his world implodes. He manages to find her, and as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, he will discover just how tough it is to get his name back. The critics were generally underwhelmed, although the box office was not too bad.

Justin Hess quote iconA reliably outrageous performance from Melissa McCarthy elevates this fluffy, sometimes crass comedy above the rest.

ReelViews
James Berardinelli quote iconThis feels a lot like some of the recent, unwatchable Adam Sandler offerings: boorish, unfunny comedy colliding with saccharine, quasi-dramatic filler.
5
ScreenIt
C. Fuchs quote iconIn its present form, and perhaps rightly so, Identity Thief feels like it's lifted material from other, more original films and thus comes off as a cheap imitation that doesn't stand up to any sort of critical scrutiny.

Rottentomatoes tomatometer
Tomatometer quote iconIdentity Thief's few laughs are attributable to Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman, who labor mightily to create a framework for the movie's undisciplined plotline.
