Even though I thought 2012 was a relatively good year for comedy, my default reaction to a new mainstream entry into the genre is skepticism.

So I am naturally skeptical about Identity Thief. I think it has some things going for it. I was a fan of Horrible Bosses and a few of the same people seem to be involved in this. And despite being one of the few people who hated Bridesmaids, I thought Melissa McCarthy was by far and away the best thing about the film. I think the cast is pretty interesting actually, I’m a big fan of Amanda Peet and she has not been in much lately. There is nothing in this trailer which convinces me this is going to be impressive, but I will be certainly checking it out when it is released to see the result.
