Die Shopping Queen Diana (Melissa McCarthy) frönt in einem Vorort von Miami ausschweifend ihrer großen Kaufleidenschaft. Unerschöpfliche finanzielle Mittel machen den Luxus möglich. Die Sache hat nur einen kleinen Haken: Die Identität, die Diana beim Einkaufen benutzt, lautet auf den Namen Sandy Bigelow Patterson und gehört einem Kundenberater (Jason Bateman), der auf der anderen Seite von Amerika lebt. Der echte Sandy Bigelow Patterson bekommt den Identitätsraub nicht nur finanziell zu spüren, auch sein Ruf ist in Gefahr. Ihm bleibt nur eine Woche Zeit, um die Betrügerin aufzuspüren, bevor sein Leben komplett aus den Bahnen gerät. Es gelingt ihm, Diana zu stellen. Auf der 3.000 Kilometer langen Reise nach Denver versucht er mit allen Mitteln, seine Identität zurückzuerlangen. Er besticht, er schmeichelt und er droht. Doch Diana erweist sich als ebenso kratzbürstig wie einfallsreich.

Fan The Fire
A lot of sub-standard Hollywood thrillers get made each year, with big names up front, a plot to make the trailer look exciting and glossy enough visuals to pull it all off.

Debilitatingly witless, "Identity Thief" strands Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman on the shoulder of its own road-trip premise, an artificial construct reminiscent of "Due Date." Remember "Due Date," that sour thing with Robert Downey Jr. and...
Screen Jabber
Gordon and Bateman team up once more after the painfully average Horrible Bosses for this little crime caper cum road trip film which has a couple of funny moments, a lot of stupid moments, far too many rubbish moments and almost no Favreau.

She stole his identity, Identity Thief stole my happiness. Like a sponge where water is joy, like a Dementor at a soul buffet, like a prism that only bends darkness, Identity Thief pairs two comedic naturals and proceeds to stalk your laughter, lashing...

You have to admit, it takes some guts to rip off a hundred other movies and then call the result “Identity Thief.” That sort of brazenness would be admired by the scoundrel at the center of this wearying, derivative comedy, if she were capable...

2013 is Melissa McCarthy’s year. The plus-size actress who blew up big laughs in “Bridesmaids” is making major comic waves with at least three features tailored to her fast-twitch style of physical humor this year.

The plot of a comedy needn't be airtight, but the premise of Identity Thief strains credulity to the point that we're left shaking our heads in disbelief at the incompetence of the central characters, the stupidity of ancillary characters...

I can only imagine what it was like to go to a movie during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Long before television, home video and the internet you could go, uninformed, to see a movie and every now and then leave the theatre realizing you had just...

"Identity Thief" is such a gargantuan stinker its stench can't be confined to one theater. Fumigate all you want. A stink this bad lives on forever.

A lot of movies released into theaters deserve the label of "bad." Only a few cross the line into "reprehensible." Say hello to Identity Thief. The big problem with this overlong, tedious would-be comedy has nothing to do with the quality...

Melissa McCarthy may have logged hours on Gilmore Girls and Mike & Molly, but her star broached the stratosphere the moment she soiled a posh, cream-white dressing room in Paul Feig’s irreverent Bridesmaids. That scene-stealing performance earned...

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...

I'm rooting for Melissa McCarthy. I've been a big fan since she co-starred on Gilmore Girls. I've seen her in Groundlings shows here in Los Angeles where I could barely breathe from laughing so hard.
New York Post
I would be disappointed if a movie called “Identity Thief” wasn’t a bit light-fingered with ideas, and in this Jason Bateman-Melissa McCarthy action comedy there is a lot of “Midnight Run,” a bit of “Catch Me If You Can” and “Planes, Trains and...

In Identity Thief, Melissa McCarthy gets smacked in the face with a frying pan, conked on the head with a toaster, run over by a car and suffers a hundred other bits of violent slapstick, and you laugh almost every time. Then the moment passes, and the...

It’s easy to admire Identity Thief’s narrative efficiency without respecting the results. Screenwriter Craig Mazin (Scary Movie 3 and 4, The Hangover Part II and III) devotes a bare line or two of dialogue to each aspect of his plot setup: Colorado...

Of the many qualities I adore about Melissa McCarthy as a comedian and as a dramatic actor, the best is how fully she gives herself to every character she plays. There's more than just bravery in her willingness to go all out; there's also generosity...

Alas, for her first leading role someone appears to have flicked off her funny switch. In Identity Thief she plays Diana, a crass, abrasive con artist who enjoys a luxury lifestyle at other people’s expense by lifting their identities.

Melissa McCarthy is the oversized personality who brought a note of hilarious and obese vulgarity to her biggest movie hit, Bridesmaids. Jason Bateman is an understated performer whose quiet comic frustration conveys a kind of hidden nice-guy insanity.
Rezension lesen7 Feb 2013
Shadows on the Wall
With a premise ripe for screwball comedy, the filmmakers instead throw in pointless car chases, violent fights, mob goons, bounty hunters, sex jokes and even a heist. At least the two lead actors have enough energy to keep the film watchable.

Identity Thief remains watchable thanks to strong comic performances from Bateman and McCarthy but the plot is extremely sloppy and the film never quite finds the right tone.

Seth Gordon first pinged on movie fans’ radar in 2007 with the inexplicably gripping and surprisingly hilarious The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters, a documentary about competitive arcade-game players.
