Movie Review: Identity Thief

STAR STAR STAR 7/8

The Pitch Review
MELISSA: [Under her breath to the Director] How does he do that, anyway?
DIRECTOR: [Under breath and to Melissa] I don't know...he's fantastic at it!
JASON: What was that?
MELISSA: Nothing, darlin'.  We're just trying to figure out how the heck you keep a straight face when impossibly hilarious stuff is happening to around you and to you. You're talented, sweetheart, and you know I want to do you.
JASON: Okay, then. Well, I really like this script, and am looking forward to the opportunity to work with you, Melissa. so. Who else are we gonna cast?
PRODUCER: Who cares? It's the two of you together?! I've read the script, and the jokes are solid, the crew is solid, the rest of the cast is hilarious, and -
MELISSA: Wait wait wait, I'm not doing it if there isn't some action in it. I'm talking car chases. And you know, action! But especially I won't do it unless I get a crazy sex scene in it. Because this..[motioning her hands over her body]...THIS...is how all the magic happens. Jason. I'm talking to you, darlin'. Come on. Have a lick.
JASON: .....
MELISSA: Nothing?! Really?! [under breath to Director] I think he's over-medicated. Or an alien. Yeah.  Oooh. A naughty, kinky, sexy alien.
JASON: Shut up, Melissa.

  1. It was really funny! You should totally rent it. You know, my sister has a crush on him (Jason Bateman). I totally don't. He cracks me up, but doesn't quite do "it" for me. I probably wouldn't do "it" for him, either. So it works out for everyone (as if it even mattered. Ha!). It'd be fun to be friends with him, though. Hmmm. Now I'm wondering who does do "it" for me! Actor-wise, I mean (real-world-wise, we keep that in our secret pocket of shhhhh). So who do you pick? I'm getting you another Vin Diesel shirt, by the way. ;)
