Identity Theft



Movie: Identity Theft
Genre: Comedy
Synopsis: Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman) is an easy-going Denver business man with a wife and two children.   His life is turned upside down when Miami con artist Diana (Melissa McCarthy) steals his identity.  Because of allegations against Sandy Peterson (actually Diana), his job is in jeopardy.  When the police are left than helpful, Sandy decides to go to Miami and somehow convince Diana to return to Denver and exonerate him.  He finds her – but getting her back to Denver makes for an eventful road trip.

My two cents: This was a really funny movie.  Jason Bateman played his usual straight-arrow nice-guy.  Melissa McCarthy was great as the con-artist.  Granted, there were times where the movie stretched credulity a bit – but it was fun to watch.
