History YMMV / IdentityThief

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Diana almost ruined a hard working mans life; And her suddenly being a sad and sympathetic person is jarring for some.

** The second happens when she reveals to Sandy that [[spoiler:she doesn't even know her real name. She cries while telling him nobody gave a shit about her growing up.]] She then drops the tone and says she was lying, but chances are, she probably wasn't.

* FanDisservice[=/=]{{Squick}}: Big Chuck in the hotel room.
** In the movie's case, given Sandy's reaction, its completely deliberate.
* JerkassWoobie: Diana

* DudeNotFunny: Some, like the critics at Spill.com, found the premise of identity theft being mined for comedy to be in very poor taste, and that the film itself wasn't funny enough to outweigh that.

* EvilIsSexy: Marisol.

* UnfortunateImplications: The movie really exaggerates BeautyEqualsGoodness, especially in regards to weight:
** Sandy and his model-esque wife are utter saints who seem utterly incapable of doing anything wrong, and are [[EasilyForgiven Easily Forgiving]] to boot.
** Diana ([[BeautyInversion a really unkempt]] [[BigBeautifulWoman Melissa McCarthy]]) has issues, a lot of issues, let's just leave it at that; while the movie eventually places her in a sympathetic light, it is only after Sandy and his beautiful family have made an influence on her. [[ExaggeratedTrope She also once uses her weight to con free food, as if to say unattractive people do not deserve what little sympathy they get for not being beautiful.]]
** Sandy's overweight former boss is portrayed as a complete asshole.
** Big Chuck is initially portrayed as a NiceGuy and a possible love interest for Diana. The last scene he appears in reveals that he is a racist bigot.
*** The drug dealers arguably avert this, as they are portrayed as attractive villains. However, they are also they only non-whites (bar Daniel and Detective Reilly) in the damn movie, [[MightyWhitey which is another kettle of fish on its own.]]
**** Hell, Daniel himself is an ass for firing Sandy for a police mix-up (and, yes, he is fully aware it is a police mix-up). This also makes him an UngratefulBastard.

* FlatCharacter: Skiptracer. Considering Diana is already being followed by the other two goons, his whole role could've been cut and it wouldn't have made a difference.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Sort of. While the storyline with the drug dealers is resolved [[spoiler: they are arrested in the end]], it is never explained just what the hell Diane did to incur their wrath to begin with(Marisol mentions that the credit cards Diana gave her were "shit", but that's about all the motivation we get). We also never see their boss again, though he would obviously rot in jail without his lackeys.

** Big Chuck is initially portrayed as a NiceGuy and a possible love interest for Diane. The last scene he appears in reveals that he is a racist bigot. This has no bearing on the plot whatsoever, it just seems the writers could not allow an unattractive person to come off as likeable.
