Review of Identity Thief

6/10
Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy do their best in the somewhat entertaining Identity Thief
11 February 2013
Just saw this with my movie theatre-working friend. We both enjoyed it but I have to admit, I found the whole thing a little uneven in trying to get laughs before then making it a little more like a rehabilitating of both lead characters for dramatic purpose. Still, Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy do earn their laughs and some tears at the way their characters change and I also liked Eric Stonestreet's supporting role here. Maybe it could have done without those villains chasing Ms. McCarthy's character for whatever reason as I didn't find them very useful here. But, all in all, Identity Thief wasn't a complete waste of time for me so on that note, it's worth a look.
