There's something to offend everyone in Identity Thief: racist jokes, gay jokes, the word "vagina" wielded as an insult.

You don't care enough about these people to want to see them come out on top.

Feeble as comedy, the movie is needlessly violent, too, as if half the crew misguidedly thought they were making a foul-mouthed action thriller.

If the plot is going to be light-hearted and fun-loving, there's simply no room for extremely dark characters and situations.
