One of my all time favorites.
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreAs 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.
View MoreI 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!
View MoreTammy 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.
View MoreI loved this and I (apparently) love Melissa McCarthy, but my favourite was Kathy Bates. For me this movie classifies as a "stupid comedy" (my favourite is Dodgeball) and within this "genre" I found it to be very enjoyable. The film's a mess, everyone in it is a mess, but somehow the whole thing works. It's crazy, it's ridiculous, it's predictable and sloppy, but I love it! I also think that McCarthy and Sarandon have great chemistry - unlike basically everyone else who watched this movie it would seem - and I really enjoyed how this comedy focused on interesting women for once. Granted it's not perfect, but it's definitely one for the re-watch folder for me.
