Identity Thief (2013) 7/10

Starring : Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet
Director : Seth Gordon
Running Time : 121 mins

Sandy Patterson (Bateman) discovers that his identity has been stolen by serial identity thief Diana (McCarthy) and as a result he finds his life turned upside down. Determined to prove that he isn’t responsible for all the crimes and misdemeanours that have been committed in his name, Sandy travels to Colorado to confront Diana and force her to admit to her crimes, but soon the pair find themselves on the run from bounty hunters who are out for Diana’s blood.

Most of the success of this movie comes from the great performances of Bateman and McCarthy, who you can always rely on to put in a great performance. The story itself is a familiar one, though with a slight twist, and you’ll probably find yourself thinking you’ve seen this before. The road trip odd couple tale is as old as time, but this does a pretty good job of remaining entertaining for it’s slightly too long duration.
