Florida resident Diana (Melissa McCarthy) has a luxurious lifestyle as the queen of retail, buying whatever strikes her fancy -- and it's all free, thanks to Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman), a guy from Denver whose identity she stole. With just one week to track down Diana before his world implodes, the real Sandy heads south to confront the unapologetic con artist and bring her back to Denver so that he can clear his name and restore his shattered credit rating.

Critics Consensus

Identity 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.

Roxane Gay

BuzzFeed News

There's something to offend everyone in Identity Thief: racist jokes, gay jokes, the word "vagina" wielded as an insult.

You don't care enough about these people to want to see them come out on top.

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Feeble as comedy, the movie is needlessly violent, too, as if half the crew misguidedly thought they were making a foul-mouthed action thriller.

Rated: 2/5

Gone With The Twins

If the plot is going to be light-hearted and fun-loving, there's simply no room for extremely dark characters and situations.

Rated: 3/10

Despite it's formulas and occasionally stale moments, I found myself surrendered to the entire journey and enjoying myself immensely.

Rated: 3.0/4.0

Bowling Green Daily News

This would-be comedy veers back and forth between mean and nasty and overly sentimental, resulting in a film that quickly grows tiresome.

i searched this movie to see where it was streaming then saw all of these low reviews. i’m so shocked. this was one of my favorite movies as a teen. it’s hilarious & will definitely have you laughing the entire way through. i used to watch this every other week when i needed a laugh. don’t listen to these reviews if you wanna laugh. it’s a ridiculous but very funny movie not worth the bad ratings. there are maybe 1 or two jokes that were offensive that i never caught onto as a teen that i do now as an adult but i never found those specific jokes funny anyways. nevertheless, good movie for those who like the humor in this movie.

I put off watching this because of the bad reviews. I'm so glad I watched it anyway. This deserves far better reviews!

Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman save this movie. Unfortunately, there are several unbelievable scenes that stick out during the production. The movie is worth a watch if you have time.
