A new comedy starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy:

Apparently, an infamous critic ain't happy with this flick:

I would perhaps give this film some respect if it had a satisfying conclusion in the vein of McCarthy's character being tied to the front of an 18-wheeler and driven into a cement wall going at 100mph.

Nothing against Melissa McCarthy herself, but I think her characters have been much too annoying for their own good.

Also, I cannot find comedy in the premise of an identity thief being tagged along for a ride with her victim and further destroying his life in every way she possibly can. There should be no redemption allowed for such scum, just a terrible demise. biggrin.gif

As much as I doubt such an ending would pass the studio's PC police, it sure would be great (like War of the Roses).wink.gif
