| Identity Thief (2013) Poster |
Taz is getting much better about leaving us alone when we
eat at the dinner table but it’s really just too much for him to handle when we
eat in the family room. Oh the smells!
And everything is sooo close! Please, please, please drop something he seems to
plead at Robert’s feet.
After eating a few bites of his combination pizza and doing a
bit of thinking, Robert decided he wanted to watch a comedy. Richard and I scrolled through the list of
movies to rent on our television and landed on “Identity Thief.” It looked cute
enough plus Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy were in it. It had the potential
to be pretty darn funny.
Early on, it seemed the concept was a bit of a stretch
(woman steals man’s identity; man travels several states away to confront this
woman and bring her to justice). There were several very funny scenes but just
as many raunchy scenes and way too many unbelievable plot points.
The best part of the movie was that Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy
were in it! Cam (Eric Stonestreet) from
Modern Family was also in it but his scene with Melissa was too over the top
for me (and might be a tad embarrassing for a caregiver watching with their
caree – especially if it’s their mom or dad).
The movie is aptly rated R. “Identity Thief” was released in
2013 so the price is still a bit steep for purchase ($14.99 on Amazon). I would
recommend renting it instead so you’re only paying around $4.99.
Robert laughed a lot during the movie since there was a lot
of physical comedy. He deemed the movie “excellent” but I am only going to give
it two and a half out of five scoops of Rocky Road.
Sorry, Jason & Melissa!
