I usually like Melissa McCarthy, but this movie is crap. It was hard to watch because there was no suspense or a funny line. There was only one funny scene and it's maybe one of the worst film i have ever seen.I can not recommend this film, stay away from it!

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...

After losing her job and learning that her husband has been unfaithful, a woman hits the road with her profane, hard-drinking grandmother. Tammy premiered Tonight on TV and just a few minutes ago i finished the movie and to be honest i liked it a lot. It does have the casual McCarthy humor i won't lie on that and for about 5 or 10 minutes the film was kinda terrible but i was surprised that it toned down the humor after a while, Melissa McCarthy does her usual stuff and she is fine but the film also touches a bit of Drama sometimes and i liked it a lot when it did that. Plus the 2 main leads McCarthy and Susan Sarandon do have a nice chemistry together, Kathy Bates is also really good, Mark Duplass brings levity to the movie and Dan Aykroyd is really funny. If i really had to choose between Tammy and the sh*tty Ghostbusters reboot i would choose this at least it's funny and even when it tries to be sad it succeeds plus the soundtrack is pretty cool. (8/10)

I am surprised by the really horrible reviews, but i think it is really due to the fact that this is a movie without a genre. (I also suspect people didn't like this movie because they can only handle an over-weight, unattractive female star when she is being funny and not when she is being human.)First of all, this is not a comedy, though it has some funny moments and the main character is comic, but she's also sad, lost, and a mess. It is not an action movie, either. The script that is frankly rather uneventful. Nor is it a romance, and I suspect more than one movie goer was totally turned off by the very unattractive heroine. Her very dumpiness is a whole part of the story, however, and I was so happy that for once to see some realism in US cinema.There IS a moment when the heroine gets a barely make-over but then she just goes back to being dumpy (albeit with a little more self-confidence) so I guess this is not a teen movie either.So what is it? A story about a very realistic, uneducated, dumpy, woman in middle America with a slightly abusive mother, an alcoholic grandma, childhood trauma, and a crappy job and car that goes on an almost adventure and figures out she needs to get her life together. That's it. Its a very non Hollywood movie, but its freshness charmed me and I can see why it charmed so many talented actors to star in it.
