Review For Identity Thief
Even with all its shortcomings and sentimental fudges, there is something about McCarthy's refusal to lie down and play the victim that gives it a comic edge. A blunt edge, to be sure, but an edge all the same.Tom Charity-CNN.com
[A] sloppily made exercise of rip-offs and redemption.
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star
Considering that it starts out with two distinctive and likable stars and a reasonably promising premise, "Identity Thief" reaches impressive heights of laziness and idiocy.
Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
Identity Thief apparently forgets it was supposed to be a comedy.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
"Identity Thief" is a cheap copy of much better comedies.
Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
[Identity Thief] exhausts most of the comic potential from identity theft in the first 20 minutes and then turns into a solid but unexceptional road picture.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
should have been a frothy farce, but instead takes several different attitudes, including action, melodrama, and mean-spirited nihilism. None of those are particularly successful
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews
"Identity Thief" gives Melissa McCarthy her full- fledged feature-film starring role. But the result is dispiriting, to say the least.
Greg Evans-Bloomberg News
Identity Theft is perfectly performed, often wildly funny, and a great movie night option for the not-easily-embarrassed.
Lisa Elin-We Got This Covered
Bateman and McCarthy are asked to mine a garbage heap of gags
Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
On paper it's a good comedic pairing, but that's it. About 45 minutes into the film, I realized I was trying to laugh, instead of the film making me laugh.
Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review
While the two leads are likable enough, they deserve better, especially McCarthy. Her range is criminally misused here -- it's almost as if someone stole her comedic identity and committed a bad film in her name.
Tyler Chase-Paste Magazine
[A] funny, though formulaic, mismatched-duo comedy ...
Betsy Sherman-Boston Phoenix
The latest movie featuring Chris Farley and David Spade really stinks. Oh...wait...
Bob Grimm-Reno News and Review
Lazy comedy doesn't mean diddly-squat.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
It's not perfect, but it is a wild 'n' crazy road trip on the lighter side of a topic that, as a lot of folks have discovered, is no laughing matter.
Neil Pond-American Profile
After setting up the professional and emotional devastation Jason Bateman's character suffers when his identity is stolen, the movie does its best to say, "You know what? Forget about that. Laugh at the crazy car crashes instead."
Jeffrey Westhoff-Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Identity Thief is so bad that I hope it doesn't prematurely squash people's enthusiasm for Melissa McCarthy.
Tim Grierson-Deadspin
Bateman and McCarthy elevate the material to a higher level than it should have.
Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
The scattered chuckles, while generally crude and obnoxious, might have more resonance if the film had some grounding in authenticity.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Identity Thief is funny enough, but it needed to be darker, raunchier, and crazier to live up to the promise of its casting.
Bilge Ebiri-Vulture
A road movie with its creative lanes clogged, and a Mack truck comedian barreling through, anyway. Melissa McCarthy, pound-for-pound the funniest woman in show biz these days, carries this cruel and usual raunchfest practically by default.
Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times
This is a movie for those who could care less about a bad premise or, for that matter, misfired gags, false sentimentality and obtuse characters.
Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com
The snow might be tricky to predict. But the bad winter movies arrive right on schedule
James Verniere-Boston Herald
If Identity Thief suffers from comedic recession, Melissa McCarthy is too small a stimulus package.
Radheyan Simonpillai-NOW Toronto
A waste of the talents of Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman.
