Details

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.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
icanbeaghost As a big fan of both Allison Janney and Susan Sarandon, this film was a must-watch for me. It's one of those ones that slips the mind when it first comes out, however, and I did not get a chance to view it until today. The plot was slightly thin, the characters slightly predictable, and I felt like there was a ton of filler material that should have been avoided, but all in all, it was a lot of fun. We all know that Hollywood pumps out a ton of cheap humor these days, and to some, (probably most), Tammy is no exception. However, there are times when cheap humor is acceptable and times when it's not. This is one of those times when it is. I mean, come on, this film was never meant to be an Oscar winner or even on the lips or fingertips of some high ranking critic. Even with its mix of dirty jokes, uncomfortable moments and cliché-ridden situations, there is so much more beneath the surface. The two aforementioned actresses completely nailed their roles (especially Sarandon as the hard drinking, no expenses spared grandma) and I must also give props to Kathy Bates and Sandra Oh. It's not every day that a plethora of big name actors lend their talent to lesser-known productions and I think it's highly admirable of all these fine women, as they clearly wanted to make a film that really spoke to their souls. Melissa McCarthy deserves the biggest mention of all, as she co-wrote the film with her husband, (who also directed it), and if you know anything about McCarthy, she is nothing if not feisty and fun loving in a commanding way. I give it 6 stars. It's definitely not anything special but if you want to relax, escape from the daily grind of life and enjoy a real silly film with real heart, Tammy is a pretty great choice.
candy_dreamscometruefilm While this film came out in 2014, I just saw it in 2018 because I am trying to see as many Melissa McCarthy movies as what appeals to me, so yeah, I am really late to the game. I happen to think that Melissa is a great comedic actress. I didn't know until I saw the beginning credits that she wrote this film. The storyline in itself is a good one, but what is it with her? Someone told me all her films were very trashy and vulgar. Is this why she has become so popular? I myself do not like trashy and vulgar movies. I like to enjoy clean movies with a storyline that stirs my emotions and leaves me thinking long after the movie is over. In addition to "Identity Thief" that I just watched today as well, "Tammy" is loaded with unnecessary "F" bombs and a handful of sexual innuendoes as well as the topic of homosexuality, all of which were unnecessary and added nothing at all to the film. But worse than those things is the constant usage of taking the Lord's name in vain, which as a Christian I don't tolerate. There is absolutely never a good reason to take the Lord's name in vain, especially in a film. I cringed every time I heard it and think I heard it about six times. However, because I had wanted to see this film for so long, and because I bought it on DVD, I decided to see it through. Because I am a Christian, someone told me I would absolutely hate this film, but I had already purchased the DVD, so I thought I would see it through. He asked me why I didn't read the reviews and the parental warnings before I bought it. Honestly, I had never thought of it. I watched the trailer and was hooked and wanted to see it because it looked very funny. My friend was wrong, I didn't hate it, I thought it was okay, but I will not be watching it again. Next on my Melissa McCarthy marathon list is "St. Vincent" as I'd like to find out why she is rated 27 on IMDb right now. The film had great production value and great DP work. The editing was also top notch. But because of all the things I did not like about this film, I can only rate it a four out of ten stars.
msulli-72433 Not funny, not scary, not dramatic, not puzzling and not terrifying. No wonder this went to TV so quickly. I'm glad I didn't pay to see this. I recorded it and I'm wondering, do I finish viewing? Moulin Rouge, is the only film I've walked out on. Maybe this is the second one. The computer says you have to submit 5 lines. OMG! How does one find enough to say about this non-event movie. Please tell me that I have got to 5 lines by now. Gee whizz! I must be funnier than this movie. Ha Ha!
Shopaholic35 Melissa McCarthy please no, just no. What made you ever think making this movie was a good idea. I wanted to be sick throughout the entire thing. On the upside the ending was really heartwarming and and I was rooting for Tammy's success. Unfortunately you subjected me to some pretty awful and traumatic things up until that point.With a cast so talented I expected better. The jokes were weak and nothing new and only gave me a few laughs. You used shock tactics to assault my eyes and ears while repeatedly demoralising yourself. Thank you for the attempt but you can do better. Please refrain from going down this pathway ever again.
