Trivia:

• When Sandy first arrives to Miami, Florida to catch Diana at the salon. The scene starts with an aerial zoom in of a coastline, then a short cut to Sandy waiting in the car outside of the salon. The scene tries to depict Winter Park as just a short drive from Miami when in truth Winter Park is a suburban city of Orlando, FL, about a 5 hour drive outside South Beach.
• Every car they took, except for the original rental car, has a crushed can of Red Bull on the dash.

Summary: Mild-mannered businessman Sandy Patterson travels from Denver to Florida to confront the deceptively harmless-looking woman who has been living it up after stealing Sandy's identity.

Review: 

One of those movies that could have been awesome or absolutely horrible.  It was thoroughly mediocre.  There were some funny parts, but I just wasn't horribly entertained by it.  And this is so sad.  I really like Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy.  Instead of carrying the hilarity through the movie, we are supposed to believe that Diana starts to grow a conscience.  Not a good move.

Best Bits: 

• Diana: I just want to be upfront and say I visually enjoy you.
• Sandy Patterson: Do you know what a sociopath is?  Diana: Do they like ribs?
• Sandy Patterson: You're diabolical.  Diana: Thank you.  Sandy Patterson: That's not a compliment.  Diana: I know.
• Diana: Dawn Budgie... That's a terrible fucking name.
