Review of Identity Thief (2013) by Nik M — 25 Jan 2016

What a bland, indecisive, offensive, and all-in-all demeaning film for both Bateman and McCarthy's resumes. If it weren't so obsessed with its nods and approval of upper class lifestyles (not to mention its racial undertones), this film could have a potential generic road trip story to tell (albeit one that's been told before in better ways).

Its characters are unlikeable and the over-the-top conflict is, well, detached and forgettable. A waste of viewing time.
