Review of Identity Thief (2013) by Brandon V — 04 Aug 2014

Anything remotely impressive about it comes from McCarthy and Bateman's astonishing ability to maneuver a script that really does leave all the work to them. They wade through heaps of garbage to occasionally find some ground to explore identifiable human emotions and relationships in a "comedy" totally devoid of laughs, realism, or the get-in-and-get-out 90-minute framework that a movie like this should've never attempted to break from.
