Sandy Patterson has a very nice wife and two beautiful girls. He works hard and earns $50,000 a
year. A group of employees get
together and decide to strike out on their own forming a new company. He can make $250,000 a year at this new
job. He receives a very sweet
phone call informing him that his credit card has been compromised and he gives
out his identifying information.
This sets Diana into action, she makes a credit card and driver’s
license with Sandy’s information.
The next phone calls he gets are about overdrafts on his credit card. The police arrest him for not appearing
at his court date for public drunkenness and assault. Sandy files to Florida from Colorado to meet up with the
woman who is the new Sandy.
I found this film extremely
stressful to watch and totally predictable. I had to stop watching, identity theft hits too close to
home and is a fear of many people.
You do need to take steps to straighten out identity theft
yourself. The police have bigger
fish to fry. Bateman is wasted as
the constant straight man, McCarthy is someone you don’t want to meet and this
film is not funny. 1 ½* (I really
didn’t like this movie)
