Movie review

Melissa McCarthy is a renowned American actress in both television and films, she also doubles in as a writer and a producer she has gained tremendous recognition in the field over the last few years. McCarthy realized a major success and fame when she created the Bridesmaids in 2011 which was a comedy hit this film attracted her major a wards in the film industry just to confirm that it was a masterpiece at the time of release. However she has also appeared in other movies including Identity Thief. The theft of identity and impersonation is a serious development in America it is estimated that up to 9 million Americans have their identity stolen annually. This seems to be the major center of attraction to McCarthy during the creation of the film.

Identity Thief has two major characters McCarthy as the corn artist and Bateman as the helpless victim who is determined to bring her down at whatever price. The film is very disorganized in the sense that the role that McCarthy plays was originally designed for a male artist but she assumes the role making it a difficult piece and unconventional. Bateman forms a spitfire team with her because of her exceptional performance in the Bridesmaid. Through the film we can see the contrast between Bateman as a reluctant schmo and McCarthy’s cartoonish, law breaker nature. The movie reveals vividly unlawful drama when the world of the two characters collides; it sinks down in our imagination with a clear understanding of every aspect of the movie as being crime oriented.

It is very unrealistic that Bateman has to trek across the U.S in order to capture McCarthy on his own, his determination is astonishing and surprising too. Moreover a man known as Rodriguez is introduced in the scene as a Latino drug lord who wants McCarthy’s head this sets a stage for a more retrogressive drama because of the diversification of those seeking to bring her down however she is too smart for these guys.

The film is a typical representation of theft of identity going on in America, it has a lot of negative things that comes with it in reality for example it can damage ones identity in the event that one uses it to cause a fraud using a prominent persons identification. It also has the potential of causing damage to a customer’s credit card which in turn can lead to denials when applying for a job or a loan. The theft of identity also causes emotional and psychological distress to the affected individuals. The movie expresses it in a very humorous way that if your identity is stolen by McCarthy it can earn you a punch on the throat.

The movie is not good as expected because there are a couple of times when you have to be momentarily dead so that you don’t burst out in a surprising laughter during the entire time that the movie runs. Everything starts when shrubby guys identity named Sandy Patterson is stolen by a Florida woman named Diana (McCarthy), the local authorities are virtually powerless in dealing with theft of identity cases. He is convinced that he cannot let go off the woman. He therefore decides to move to Florida to hunt the Diana and bring her to book. The man sets on a road trip that attracts a lot of comedy bits and bursts of glory actions.

However the movie has one glorious thing on its side that is Melissa McCarthy she is a star material as disclosed in Bridesmaids her excellence performance is a proof of a movie worth watching. Diana gives a very negative impression to the audience when she spends a lot of Sandy’s money in a bar I in a very comic way. She is very desperate and has no friends she therefore picks all the humor she finds on her way and fills them in her character. You are able to figure out straight a way that this woman dishes out money to people so that she can convince them to care about her. In Bridesmaids it is revealed that Melissa McCarthy has arrived in Hollywood it a proof of the idea that you are a comedian when you are given a simple bunch of materials and you are expected to make it funnier than it should be.

In the movie the Bridesmaids a marriage of genuine people gross out gags, and; sorrow it is a female driven comedy that Judd Apatow invites his friends to experience bridesmaids. Kristen is in charge of the cast and is referred to as Annie who is the maid of honor she leads other maids and her best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph); the colorful maids include Rose Byrne, McCarthy, Wendi and Ellie Kemper they all have to go through a wild road to the matrimony. Annie’s life seems to be in a mess. Things take another twist when she realizes that his best friend Lillian is engaged. Though loveless and broke Annie had to go through the expensive wedding procedures, she was determined to use any chance available to show Lillian and his bridesmaids how far she was willing to go for the one she loved.

The movie gives a realistic performance as compared to identity thief it presents a lady without any ego at all she is unhappy and single this reflects the reality as opposed to Diana who spends money to buy attention from other people. Anne’s suffering shapes her life into the character that she represents. Anne clings to the bed of a rich man who she considers his best friend (Maya Rudolph). The man plans to get married and as expected in reality this spirals down her life.

The movie has also been prepared to carter for the audience’s senses of humor but in a more practicable way compared to Identity thief. That’s the main aim of inclusion of TV personalities such as Melissa McCarthy who is the funniest of all, she is proud of her weight and what attracts attention is how she throws herself at people in the party. In the end of it all Bridesmaids is touching movie, very natural and fun at the same time just like a reality wedding.

I don’t find a reason to recommend Identity thief because most of the actions have the potential of instigating crime in one’s mind. On the other hand Bridesmaids has basic humor and reflects what is possible in our lives. But if one is interested in watching comedy performances that have been smuggled into the so called remarkable movies then one might find something interesting about it.
