After losing her job and learning that her husband has been unfaithful, a woman hits the road with her profane, hard-drinking grandmother (www.imdb.com).
Director: Ben Falcone
Starring: Melissa McCarthy, Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, Nat Faxon, Toni Collette, Sandra Oh, Dan Aykroyd
Melissa McCarthy gets up to her usual tricks in Tammy. Taking her out of this equation would be an absolute shambles. Dumped by her husband and fired from her job, Tammy (McCarthy) sets out on an adventure to escape the burdens in her life. The only person who has a car is her crazy grandmother Pearl (Sarandon). The two of them never stray too far from home. The laughs are absent and replaced with awkwardness and raised eyebrows. Sarandon looks old enough to be McCarthy's mother, let alone her grandmother. Director and real life husband of McCarthy Ben Falcone relies heavily on McCarthy, and apart from a memorable robbery of a fast-food shop, McCarthy has little room to show off her moves.
2/5
