Director : Ben Falcone
Running Time : 101 mins
After being fired from her job and discovering that her husband is having an affair, Tammy (McCarthy) decides it high time she got away from the small town she lives in. So that she can fund the trip she brings along her grandma Pearl (Sarandon), and together the two of them get up to all sorts of childish hi-jinx.
This movie had potential if only it wasn’t so dry. With McCarthy at the helm, I expected crazy slapstick nonsense, and there was plenty of it, but it didn’t really go with the rest of the script. It started off with Tammy coming across as mentally challenged in some way, then her portrayal swiftly changed to angry and bitter. There are some potential dark moments which could have worked well, but the powers that be clearly copped out of using them at the last minute, and in spite of a stellar cast of supporting celebs, this was less than great.
