    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie!

    I loved this movie from the very moment it started and this is one movie that I highly recommend!

    The twists and turns in it will surprise you!

    There were scenes which I thought would end up a certain way but the writer/director (James Ward) shows how talented he is when the twists come in and you find yourself going "omg!"

    While parts of it surprised me, other parts of it had me laughing out loud!

    I found the acting in it to be of high quality, even better than some of the "big screen" movies I have seen recently!

    After watching it again, I realized I know some people who are like some of the characters in this movie! lol

    I won't reveal any spoilers in this review but I will encourage you to get this movie!

    It's one that you will watch again and enjoy sharing with friends and family!

    I know I do!

    I give it 10 out of 10 stars :)

    Great Movie

    Don't normally give 10/10 for a movie but this is one of the best i've seen for along time. very entertaining and funny. Actors we're very good to sticking to the script and acting like each other which is very hard.... highly recommend buying this came from US to UK within 7 working days. The extras were very good too with the bloopers and interview with Laura (Karen Bristol body thief) was also very good too she played it well to act as the "man in a woman's body" and James Ward (Matt body theft victim) You really have to watch it to really appreciate the good work that was put into it. keep up the good work James :)

    This movie is great!

    It's so sad that the movie "Identity Thief" with Melissa MacCarthy and Jason Bateman is hurting this films ratings. People are confusing that film with this one. When I last logged in, this film was at 8.1! I have had this film in my DVD closet for a few years now, and it is adorable, funny, and suspenseful. It's hard to believe that this was made basically by a guy with a video-cam and a lot of friends, because it is comparable to all those beloved indie movies that you love so much. I wont tell you the story, because they g over that in all the other reviews, so I'll just say that this film will entertain and charm you beyond all expectations. Watch it! And please! Will you people that are giving this film a low rating because you are mixed up PLEASE read the title more carefully??

    James Ward's First Feature...Not bad

    Identity Theft is James Ward's first full length feature film, and an admirable first effort. as a writer/director/actor Ward makes the most of what he has to work with in terms of production. However, he manages to get credible performances out of his actors. Laura Weintraub comes off well as a man trapped in a woman's body, and thankfully we don't see the other side of this equation. Of particular note is the ending, a shocking twist to be sure, but don't stop watching until after the credits to see the full conclusion. I'm a sucker for the body swap genre, but this is tastefully done as opposed to other entries in this genre. Keep bringing it, James.

    Great

    Obviously a low budget film, but this allows it to explore a story a mainstream wouldn't dare consider. Usually these body swap type films involve some weak comedy gimmick and a happy ending - making them predictable and boring. Luckily this film is not bound by such constraints.

    Hollywood take note and look over here for some inspiration!

    This also took just 7 days to reach the UK in the Christmas post which was great.

    This is the first film I have felt the need to make an account on IMDb for and rave about, so that should tell you something. Keep up the good work guys!
