Movies that feel likeIdentity Thief (2013)

When a mild-mannered businessman learns his identity has been stolen, he hits the road in an attempt to foil the thief -- a trip that puts him in the path of a deceptively harmless-looking woman.

If you loved Identity Thief, the closest films we have are Horrible Bosses (2011), Seven Psychopaths (2012) and Logan Lucky (2017). All three share Identity Thief's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
