How did you NOT think this was funny?!


I'm curious to know what you all were expecting from this movie. I haven't laughed so hard at a comedy in a long time! It's silly, raunchy, and effing hilarious! I have NO idea why everyone here hates it - I seriously don't get it.

I did not laugh once.

Was it a comedy?

Must suck to not have a sense of humor.

I won't say it was hilarious or anything, but if you didn't laugh once, you have no sense of humor.

Laughed our asses off at the movies. Thought it was great. We were shocked to find out people didn't like it.

Not great, but I thought it was pretty fun. Surprised at the bad reviews.

He's nothing next to Bart Taylor.

I was expecting a funny comedy and I laughed maybe twice. There's nothing for you to get, we all have different taste in comedy. Although, since most people didn't laugh at this movie, it's fair to call it "unfunny".

Identity Thief is the only female-driven (as in the main or equal-main character is female) comedy I've found funny in the 21st Century.
I'm not saying Identity Thief is a classic, and I'm not saying its great, but its good.
Its about 3 notches below the Austin Powers Trilogy (my favorite comedy).
The only comedies I rate above Identity Thief in recent years is the Austin Powers Trilogy, 21 Jump Street, Click, and those are all male-driven.
Very rare for me to find a funny female actress, but Melissa McCarthy definitely fits the bill.

I enjoyed Identity Thief.
I took it as an absurd and silly comedy that was not meant to be serious.
Too many people on these forums are taking it seriously.

When she did the splits on the dance floor, that $hit was hilarious lmao!!!!

I loved this movie too!

Thank you. I think it's funny too. I love it. It's meant robe an entertaining comedy people, don't anakyze the SHYT out of it. Don't need to bash Melissa M. For her appearance.

Not everyone will find the same stuff funny.
