Identity Thief is an adventure of a comedy and it's funny, as is Melissa McCarthy, who plays identity thief Diana.
McCarthy steals the identity of Sandy Bigelow Patterson, played by Jason Bateman.
As is surely the norm, Diana has stolen thousands of dollars worth of alcohol, household goods, gasoline and various other sundries. She's aggressive too. This also sullies her target's good name, as she uses his identity when she gets caught.
In an attempt to bring Diana from where she is, in Florida, to where Bateman is, in Colorado, he takes a drive to retrieve her. He is successful.
Craziness ensues and by the time he gets her home, he has a change of heart. He realizes how much pain she's in and decides not to press charges.
Diana also has a change of heart and turns herself in.

Daniel: We're gonna have to talk about our actions. We're gonna have to let you go.
