Nguyen's film is a compelling coming-of-age tale of young love set against the harsh realities of war-torn Africa, where rebel soldiers fight against government forces while enlisting child soldiers.

Remember the ad campaign 'Just Say No To Drugs'? I was young, possibly 5 or 6 years old, when the campaign swept the education system with its jingle…'Just say no, Just say no to drugs!' With Magic Johnson twirling a basketball on his fingertips for what seems to be an eternity, every 80's latch-key child was hypnotized into the campaign with star power, celebrity, and a catchy jingle.

Identity Thief intends to show us how wrong it is to claim to be something you’re not – and it succeeds by showing us how wrong it is to claim to be entertaining when you’re anything but. The film advertised as a potentially funny popcorn flick with promising leads is, in reality, an hour-and-a-half of fat jokes, bland characters, and a clumsy plot that will leave you feeling more concerned about the motivations of these writers than the dangers of identity theft.
