Synopsis

For Tammy, a burger-joint employee, a bad day keeps getting worse. She wrecks her car, loses her job and finds that her husband has been unfaithful. It's time for Tammy to hit the road, but without money or transportation, her options are limited. Her only choice is a road trip with her hard-drinking grandmother, Pearl, who has a car, cash and an itch to see Niagara Falls. It's not the escape Tammy had in mind, but it may be what she needs.

MJB784 Tammy felt like a Saturday Night Live skit stretched out to 90 minutes. In fact, Melissa Mccarthy was like a female Chris Farley and she even hit a deer in the first scene like the deer scene in Tommy Boy. Her character was of two notes: Angry or sad. At least I used a free movie ticket.
Bele Torso Could have been much better!Comedy is catching lightening in a bottle. McCarthy's performance in Bridemaids was on par with Chris Farley in Tommy Boy...great! She was perfection in that role and stole the movie. In Tammy, I agree, the MM effect was already wearing thin. She is a fat actress and her roles limited. Another argument, but welcome to Hollywood? She ain't competing with Emily Blunt for roles, and she did not look good in this movie. Her complexion made her look almost ill or like she was in rehab.So...this is where your supporting cast comes in to rescue the day. Casting Kathy Bates is always a good choice! A director's dream..."Ok, great, that role is solid, move on..." Susan Sarandon was also good and much respect for playing grandma. What actress known for her curves and sassy spirit wants to play grandma? There really is no excuse for a bad script with all the methods out there. Dramatica is one of the best and if they hired the Dramatica team, this would have been 100x better. Make the effort! If they would have gone to a screenwriter workshop with this and let them loose, you would have had a much tighter script with added soul, and this movie came close to having a lot of soul. That would have saved it. A movie that was deeply touching.Another coulda, woulda, shoulda movie...
Chappy Watched I do believe that Melissa McCarthy is a good and funny actress but she seems to just be playing the same thing over and over lately and Tammy is no different.The cast is top notch with Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, Allison Janney, Dan Aykroyd, Toni Collette and Sandra Oh joining McCarthy but that still doesn't help it from being a crap movie!There are some laughs but they are easily forgettable, the story is predictable and the movie as a whole is only marginally better than Identity Thief.Watched once but will never watch again.
Melania Marianu Tammy.. is how my opposite person would be like.She is careless, reckless, picks on people, is quite offensive, but... as the events unfold, she is also sensitive, deeply loyal to her family, and.. goofy. It was quite exhausting for me to watch her train of thoughts and actions, but in the end it was all worth it because the movie had a beautiful positive ending.Susan Sarandon - not so old to play a granny, not so convincing, not so believable. I haven't enjoyed seeing Kathy Bathes either, for that matter, and the troubles of having an alcoholic in the family seem redundant and melodramatic.
