Identity Thief (2013)
Identity Thief is a broad, energetic road-trip comedy released in 2013 and directed by Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses), written by Craig Mazin. Jason Bateman plays Sandy Patterson, a mild-mannered Denver accountant whose identity is stolen by Diana (Melissa McCarthy), a charismatic, completely shameless fraudster living it up in Florida on his credit. When Sandy's career is threatened, he travels to Florida to bring Diana back to Denver himself — and the two embark on a chaotic cross-country journey that is, inevitably, not straightforward. The film grossed over $173 million worldwide and is a showcase for McCarthy at the height of her commercial powers; her Diana is a fully committed comic creation that generates genuine sympathy alongside the laughs. Bateman's straight-man exasperation is the perfect foil. A crowd-pleasing, unpretentious comedy that delivers exactly what it promises. This copy is New & Sealed.
Highlights
- Melissa McCarthy as Diana — McCarthy is the film's engine and its greatest asset; her Diana is outrageous, surprisingly vulnerable and completely committed, and the performance demonstrates why she was one of the most bankable comedy stars of the decade.
- The Bateman/McCarthy dynamic — The chemistry between the two leads is the film's core pleasure; Bateman's controlled, increasingly desperate straight man and McCarthy's anarchic, unapologetic Diana generate a comic friction that sustains the film throughout.
- The road-trip structure — Gordon and Mazin use the cross-country journey to put the pair through a series of escalating comic situations; the episodic structure keeps the energy high and each new obstacle is more absurd than the last.
- The unexpected emotional beats — The film earns its more affecting moments; Diana's backstory gives McCarthy real dramatic material to work with and the film's final act has genuine warmth that elevates it above pure farce.
- Seth Gordon's direction — The director of Horrible Bosses keeps the pace brisk and the comedy broad without losing sight of the human story; the film moves with real efficiency and never outstays its welcome.
