Seth Gordon directs this comedy about an accountant out to track down the woman responsible for stealing his identity. When he learns that his credit cards are being used to fund the lavish lifestyle of shopaholic Miami resident Diana (Melissa McCarthy), mild-mannered Denver accountant Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman) sets out to clear his credit rating by bringing her back to face the music. But with the clock ticking and Diana deciding to dig her heels in, Sandy soon finds himself forced to try every trick in the book, and some that aren't, to bring his fugitive home.

At first it doesn't look that bad, but later it's pretty awful. Actually, it gets worse and worse. If I retroactively recall everything I unfortunately saw in this film and compare it to how many times I laughed, I don't see a single reason why it lasted nearly two hours. A promising plot as if taken from some classic comedy from the 1960s or 1970s got some rough work from the screenwriter. But Jason Bateman and Robert Patrick were fine.

Avoid this movie comedy. I really think that is the best solution. I endured the film and my girlfriend had the same feelings. We were both glad that it's behind us and that we don't have to watch it anymore. Melissa should try to choose different roles because the annoying woman is funny once, but not so much the fourth time. Such typecasting is not good for her because she definitely has abilities. Just like Jason Bateman. Clever comedies suit him much better. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/09/z-ciziho-krev-netece-2013-20.html
