Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsìììì Identity Thief—terrifically creative and fresh—serves the mature audience,
especially an audience who is familiar with the mindset of an identity thief.
The acting of Melissa McCarthy is beyond reproach. She enters and leaves
every scene with power and incredible timing for her dialogue lines. Be aware
that the movie contains multiple scenes that have completely adult themes and
are not for children. On the whole, this movie is entertaining and has a
certain innocence that serves as a complete paradox to the theme of the
story. Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline This comedy
crime film is about a woman who is a skilled identity thief and the
man who tracks her down when she steals his identity. Additional Thanks Thank you to Director Seth Gordon for directing efforts. Thank you to Producers Scott Stuber, Pamela Abdy, and Jason Bateman for making the film possible. Cast includes Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, Tip Harris, Genesis Rodriguez, Morris Chestnut, John Cho, Robert Patrick, and Eric Stonestreet. Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? Maybe. It is an adult film with exceptionally adult material that introduces a lifestyle that is on target with a certain mindset and a personality that tries to survive in its tough world. The acting is impeccable. The story is completely fresh and new.
