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

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 3, 2020

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

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

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

dentity Thief is awash with a hackneyed and horribly mawkish type of moralising. It's as if studios have voluntarily adopted a new skewed iteration of the Hays Production Code for its comedies.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 13, 2019

s there a heart-wrenching back story to explain why Diana is the way she is? Yes. Did I laugh? Yes.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 6, 2018

This film just made me want to crawl up into a ball and cry. And I pretty much did. Not because the film is sad or anything; just because it is that unbelievably putrid.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Nov 1, 2018

Identity Thief is one of those failed attempts to capture comedy magic.

| Oct 22, 2018

It is a creaky start, and matters fail to become smoother from there.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 22, 2018

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

| May 24, 2018

Identity Thief is supposed be a fun time, but robs you of it the whole 111 minutes you're sitting there watching it.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 25, 2017

Don't see it.

| Oct 23, 2017

Identity Thief exhausts you with slapstick.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2017

Though occasionally funny and filled with amusing bit-performances Identity Thief's deeply unlikable co-protagonist stops this would-be buddy comedy in its tracks.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 14, 2016

Up until he becomes somewhat manly, Bateman's character's supreme ineptness is less funny than nerve-wracking. There's way more grossness than hilarity. Don't get conned.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 20, 2016

Director Seth Gordon's best film since his brilliant debut, "The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters."

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 14, 2016

...suffers from an often unwatchable first half that admittedly does give way to a passable final stretch...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 17, 2015

...utterly confused over what to do with McCarthy as a physical comedienne.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 24, 2014

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

| Jan 3, 2014

Bateman and McCarthy thrash around in the dark for laughs that never come.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 18, 2013

This ugly and rather mean-spirited film, with jokes that are so lowbrow they're totally underfoot, creaks through a number of recycled road trip gags.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 9, 2013
