I wanted to love this. I really did. It stars actors I adore, it is written and directed by someone I admire, I was fascinated by the story. I went in full of optimism.

I'm sad to say, I did not like it at all.

I did not like any of the characters, half of whom felt under explored and the other half were just unpleasant. I also felt like the ending wasn't a great fit.

I don't want this to become a bash on this film. I'm sure other people have enjoyed it, it just didn't mesh for me.

That was not the easy way

Date: Tuesday 5th March
Film: Identity Thief (2013)
Director: Seth Gordon
Starring: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy and Eric Stonestreet
Running Time: 01 hour, 51 minutes
Rating: 3/10

Another day, another Sky preview. This time, Identity Thief. A film that, having seen the trailers, I wasn't all that fussed about seeing. It looked awful, but I believe that occasionally Jason Bateman can make the right choice and excel in film (we all know he can be fabulous on TV). I then found out that this was directed by the man who bought us Horrible Bosses - one of the times Bateman is great in a movie - I'll admit, my hopes raised slightly.

Alas, Identity Thief is every bit as terrible as the trailer. There were occasional sniggers, and one dead pan line that did make me giggle to the point of hysteria (although, this trick was repeated later when I saw a shop called 'Hot Nuts', I think that says a lot about my incredibly juvenile sense of humour), but this is not a funny film.

There seemed to be a mean streak running through it; there were unnecessary characters that added little to the film, bar the big third act revelation, the humour was obvious and, as great as Melissa McCarthy can be, I did feel like she was hamming up for the cameras.

I just did not enjoy this. I tried, but it just didn't click.

Running Time : 1 hour 48 minutes
Rating: 3/10

If you were one of the people who told me I would enjoy this film, I would like you to take a long hard look at yourself. What a pile of tripe. Even the wonderful K.Bake couldn't save this.

There was one redeeming factor, one thing that earned this film every point of it's three point rating.

My old man crush.

The ever fabulous Mr. Bill Murray.
