Watch Identity Thief Online Free (2013) Movie : Seth Gordon is an interesting director. He rotates evenly between television, documentaries and comedic features, though he excels at some way more than others. The Horrible Bosses director’s new film, Identity Thief, re-teams him with Jason Bateman and the hilarious Melissa McCarthy in a road trip crime comedy about, well, Identity theft. Jason Bateman plays Sandy Patterson or, as I like to call him, the same exact semi pushover character he plays in every single movie and TV show that he’s ever been in. Anyway, Sandy’s a businessman whose identity has been stolen by the glamorous Diana and, after being arrested and his job put on the line, he decides to travel from Denver to Florida in order to capture and bring back the criminal who stole his identity. ( Watch Identity Thief Online ) Things obviously don’t go according to plan and the ride is extremely far from smooth, but the two eventually have to work together in order to avoid capture by both a bounty hunter (Robert Patrick) and two other criminals (T.I. and Genesis Rodriguez). There are a lot of very funny moments throughout Identity Thief, most of which originates from Melissa McCarthy’s ridiculous dialogue and repetitive, yet always funny, physical humor. Bateman has a couple moments himself but this is clearly Melissa’s show and some of the supporting cast contributes a bit as well. That being said, the movie is comically patchy, meaning that while there are plenty of laugh out loud moments, there is also a ton of long, humorless dry spells as a result of an identity crises, attempted character building drama and sometimes, just missed shots at humor. It’s the feeling of a constant lull in humor that degrades the film from your average road trip comedy to an under par one that’s worth watching at home but not necessarily in a theater.
Download Identity Thief Movie Free (2013) Movie : SPOILER The one thing that bugged me most about the movie was the ending. Identity Thief’s ending almost falls into completely predictable territory but thankfully writer Craig Mazin diverted it slightly. The issue with the ending is more of the fact that somehow, after one night of dinner and playing, Melissa McCarthy somehow becomes an Aunt of sort to Sandy’s kids and his wife ends up teaching her economist. I know there are forgiving people out there in the world but I have trouble believing that they could forgive someone so quickly for nearly ruining their lives. ( Download Identity Thief Movie ) I just don’t buy it. This is one of those feel good moments where a victim decides to give the criminal a chance at redemption and, thought it may be touching, it came off as more awkward to me due to the events that take place in the prison. Identity Thief reminds me a lot of Due Date except not necessarily as funny. There is a ton of soul searching for one of the characters, it’s clear that there is constant tension between the unlikely car poolers and both end in standard Hollywood fashion. Basically, if you’re looking for something lighthearted and you want to laugh then this is your best option this weekend. It’s not a comical riot and it’s not low grade trash, so if that’s not a problem for you and you don’t mind spending money on a mediocre comedy then go check out Identity Thief, it won’t be the worst decision you ever make.
Watch Identity Thief Online Free (2013) Movie : When Melissa McCarthy emerged from 2011 a bona fide breakout star, armed with an Emmy Award and an Oscar nomination, some might have found all the attention a bit hyperbolic—a shower of praise for a gal of the moment whose likability had achieved a certain cachet. But if McCarthy’s new film, Identity Thief, proves anything, it’s that the comedienne’s talent is neither fluke nor fad, and that her shuffle from bit parts to major roles has been richly deserved indeed. As Diana, the titular conwoman in everywoman’s clothing, McCarthy gives a performance leagues better than anything to be expected in a mainstream, early-in-the-year release, padding a typically sketched character with layers of hilarity and pathos. ( Watch Identity Thief Online ) For part of the film, Diana goes by Sandy Bigelow Patterson, the name of the Denver financier (Jason Bateman) whose bank accounts she drains after duping him in a phone scam (“It’s unisex,” the male Sandy says of his name, an admittedly puerile running gag that pokes at his manhood and eventually yields a “tranny” joke). When Diana’s shady activities, from shopping sprees to drug deals, all point back to Sandy, the humble sucker opts to save his job and good, androgynous name by hunting Diana down in Florida. Once prey and predator meet, and a bargained-at road trip back to Colorado ensues, McCarthy owns Identity Thief with a turn of limitless surprise, making an otherwise adequate comedy soar as a star vehicle.

Written by Craig Mazin, a questionable talent who’s worked his way up from co-scripting Scary Movie installments, Identity Thief calls for a lot of plus-size self-mockery, which, even in McCarthy’s able hands, can read as quite tasteless. Diana’s sexuality, in particular, is as lampooned as it is celebrated, with overeager flirting, showerhead masturbation, and a vulgar sex scene with a portly stranger (played by Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet) all duly exploited. ( Download Identity Thief Movie ) And yet, whether she’s seen as an on-screen heroine for, or parody of, curvier female viewers, McCarthy is way ahead of every one of this film’s turnoffs, expertly navigating its sitcom-ish emotional terrain (each poignant bit is quickly clipped by a wisecrack), and utilizing its delusional irony for Diana’s characterization. Naturally, there’s a lot of pain and loneliness behind the serial swindler’s façade, complete with parental abandonment and, wouldn’t ya know it, a lack of knowledge of actual identity. McCarthy is riveting in simply penned moments of remorse and confession, adding tearful depth to her ace timing and formidable physical comedy. And in a restaurant scene that sees Diana fool a waitress into thinking Sandy is a husband who forces her to stress-eat, McCarthy makes mincemeat of the material, clobbering fat-girl punchlines with heavyweight acting.
