Movie critic Rex Reed had some issues with the film 'Identity Thief,' which stars Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman. Instead of addressing the film's failures on an artistic level, however, Reed did the truly professional thing and attacked McCarthy for her weight. Hey, Rex Reed? Go get stuffed.

Funny is, of course, subjective. I find Woody Allen funny but there are plenty of people who find him about as amusing as being slowly asphyxiated in plastic bags from CVS. Still, I'll hazard to guess that there is no one who will find Melissa McCarthy obnoxiously singing along to Kelis' not-at-all-current "Milkshake" funny. Especially when 'Identity Thief' - a new "comedy" wit

Making comedy about a man whose credit line is ruined and is about to go to court for debt because of identity theft seems difficult. It's a nightmare scenario for anyone who's suffered it before. Hopefully Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy are enough to make 'Identity Thief' entertaining, and now we've got a trailer for the film.
