Tammy


Tammy (Melissa McCarthy) is having a bad day. She's totaled her clunker car, gotten fired from her thankless job at a greasy burger joint, and instead of finding comfort at home, finds her husband getting comfortable with the neighbor in her own house. It's time to take her boom box and book it. The bad news is she's broke and without wheels. The worse news is her grandma, Pearl (Susan Sarandon), is her only option—with a car, cash, and an itch to see Niagara Falls. Not exactly the escape Tammy had in mind. But on the road, with grandma riding shot gun, it may be just what Tammy needs.

I find Melissa McCarthy absolutely hysterical.  She is a lock for the top five funniest people in my opinion.  It really doesn't matter what she is doing.  Her delivery and physical humor get me every time.  This movie is a pretty great testament to this.  Spade a spade - it was a pretty pointless and stupid movie.  But the surroundings are carried by the aforementioned strengths of McCarthy and I still found it enjoyable and funny.  It is nowhere near the league of The Heat or Identity Thief where the movie around McCarthy was also hysterical.  This is just a testament to how talented she is when it comes to hitting the funny bone.  

I would still recommend this movie to anyone that is also a fan of Melissa McCarthy like I am.  I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone that isn't though because if you don't find her funny - the movie is pretty much trash.
