Identity Thief Clips

by Helen Earnshaw | 17 February 2013

We love Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman and so seeing them together in the same movie is something that we cannot wait for.

Of course Identity Thief is the film that I am talking about and it promises to be a real comedy treat.

And we have some new clips from the film for you to check out:

This is the first time that McCarthy and Batman have joined their comedic forces while Seth Gordon is in the director's chair for the film.

Gordon has moved between directing TV and film projects throughout his career working on the likes of Breaking In and The Office as well as Four Christmases and Horrible Bosses.

This is his first movie since Horrible Bosses and this sees him reunite with Bateman once again.

Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, T.I., Genesis Rodriguez, John Cho and Robert Patrick are all also on a very exciting and varied cast list.

Bateman take on the role of regular guy Sandy Patterson who is forced to extreme measures to clear his name. With everything to lose after his identity is stolen, he’ll find out how crazed you can get trying to settle a bad credit score.

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy.

There’s only one glitch: the ID she’s using to finance these sprees reads 'Sandy Bigelow Patterson'. and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S.

With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life.

And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.

Identity Thief has already topped the box office in the U.S. and that success looks set to continue when it hits big screen here in the UK next month.
