7/10
Not great, but not as terrible has some critics made it out to be.

Sandy Patterson(Jason Bateman) seems to have the life most people would envy, a good job, a perfect marriage, and great kids. But Sandys perfect life is quickly turned upside down, when his identity is stolen, and the woman(Melissa McCarthey) who stole it, is living in Florida, cause of that the police are unable to help Sandy, cause it's out of state. So Sandy decides to play bounty hunter to capture her and clear his name, but will it be more trouble then it's worth?

I like Melissa McCarthey after seeing her in Bridemaids(2011), I knew she was destined to be a star, and Jason Bateman too was good. They had a little bit of chemistry, but not enough to make as interesting. There where some moments in the film in which I laughed, but for some other moments the jokes where hit and miss. And the joke when the main character is made fun of cause his name is Sandy, come on that is what little kids do, not grown adults. It's a shame watching such talented actors like Robert Patrick, Morris Chestnut, and Amanda Peet in such thankless roles. But Melissa McCarthey and Jason Bateman are amusing for the most part, this is not a terrible film, it's a film to pass the time, I mean there are a lot worse movies out there like That's My Boy and Movie 43.
