Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie has action, humor, melissa and the side parts of tip y genesis is really good. bateman and melissa play off each other very very well. I highly recommend this movie. to the point re script logic: well, i won't say it is the most logical script in history, but it is very funny and entertaining. and melissa really stretched on this one.

I know films can take liberties with the real world, however this was just stupid. The whole basis of this film is cringe worthy. It wasn't funny, it was predictable and worst still was the story line. I am now dumber from watching this. Someone steals somebodies identity which is a federal crime, and somehow the police can't do anything about it............. yeah coz that makes sense

It has been a while since NBC aired this, but I just had so much tom watch on my three DVRs I had to wait until summer.Melissa McCarthy is definitely the standout actor here. And it's not just because she goes back and forth between angry and determined defending her illegal actions and nice and charming trying to persuade people. In one scene she shows a vulnerable side and real emotion. I won't say whether the change in the tone of the movie is permanent, but after that scene she claims she was lying. Oh, no, she wasn't. She was telling the truth. I'm not saying whether the movie proves this. I'm saying you can just tell.Jason Bateman does a good job too. Nothing innovative ... well, maybe. He learns to deceive people too and does a great job of it. Most of the time, though, he's just ordinary and responsible, like his character, who has to go against his values in some cases because that's what it's going to take.Of course, one of the best things about the movie is the chemistry between the two Sandys. Not romantic, because the real Sandy will be faithful and isn't actually attracted to his partner. But plenty of enjoyable bickering.Morris Chestnut also does a good job as the detective investigating Sandy's deeds, which are actually Diana's. Yes, eventually he does believe Diana did what Sandy is accused of. But he's a professional and he needs proof.Robert Patrick, I believe, is the determined bounty hunter who just keeps coming back no matter what. He's kind of scary.Eric Stonestreet is much more likable in his TV role. Big Chuck is a bigot and a racist and very religious, except his version of religion allows what some would call fornication. Some people will like him.There are some memorable characters here with just a few lines. Okay, maybe not so memorable. I was thinking of them as memorable when I watched them, but now I can't really remember details. There are plenty of exciting car chases and a couple of spectacular wrecks.The ending is quite surprising but satisfying.I had a good time.

This movie is... um... Okay. Some laughs, but many more smiles . It's "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" in 2nd gear. Jason Bateman is the Steve Martin clone. There are some scenes that rip off the F-bomb counter scene. Melissa McCarthy is John Candy in drag. Her character is more ruthless, but she plays the likable unlikable.
