      What to Know

      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.

      Eric S Any movie with Melissa McCarthy deserves the lowest rating she's not funny she's just a fat girl that's trying to be funny and over acts and she just sucks. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review Kimberly G I loved it and so did the room full of others sitting among me !! I'm curious how does someone actually earn the title of "critic " and does a "critic" sit among real people when reviewing a movie? Or home alone? I sense a rotten apple behind this poor review 🤷‍♀️ Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A few good laughs but mostly a big stretch on the plot - felt like they worked too hard on making it funny Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/28/23 Full Review R H Lame. Lame. Lame. Melissa McCarthy is as terrible and annoying as always. Jason Bateman deserves so much better. Annoying, predictable, lame. Untrue stereotypes and BORING. Avoid this at all costs. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Andy B Would have to be one of the most pathetic movies made Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Gareth v A bland and half-baked comedy that has a few hilarious moments and that's it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roxane Gay BuzzFeed News There's something to offend everyone in Identity Thief: racist jokes, gay jokes, the word "vagina" wielded as an insult. May 24, 2018 Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland You don't care enough about these people to want to see them come out on top. Jan 3, 2014 Full Review 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 Mar 22, 2013 Full Review Mike Massie 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 Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 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 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton 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.
