Tammy

It's a broad, helter-skelter farce whose best bits hinge almost entirely on the considerable charms of its star.

Tammy, in the end, feels like a pulled punch. McCarthy promises a haymaker she never quite delivers.

As a script it is uneven and tonally inconsistent – best as a brainless, gross-out comedy, less successful when striving for emotional poignancy.

There are some laughs and, at least on screen, more than a few tears. But it doesn't come together with the kind of satisfying punch a comedy should deliver.

Where 1991's "Thelma & Louise" was funny and action-filled, Tammy's story is thin, cringe-inducing and, worst of all for a comedy, not funny. Jokes land with a thud and the pacing is leaden.

It’s a waste of a good cast as well as a serious trip-wire for McCarthy, who may know what’s best for her talents but, on the evidence, needs a deft-handed outsider to make sure she’s maximizing them.

Tammy is a bummer, not least because McCarthy’s fans know she’s better than this.

I found the movie to be extremely entertaining and down-right hilarious! I was laughing so hard that I cried in numerous parts throughout the film. The story line was rather scattered but I thought it had to be considering the crazy dynamic of the character. I commend McCarthy for her humor and compliment her spontaneity when it comes to improvisation and unexpected punch lines. This is not the first time that we see McCarthy in this discombobulated, vulgar, and rather ruthless character. So it would be nice to see her in something different, but for this movie, I thought she nailed it! If you haven’t spent time laughing the night away with Tammy yet, I would definitely recommend you do so, you wont regret you did.

I found TAMMY was so funny, but everyone isn't like me. I did not get what all the whining about this movie. This film was nominated for the worst actress and supporting actress at Razzie Awards, but I found they were awesome. You can't blame performers for the bad story, in fact the screenplay was okay, but again the story did not influence to build a better screenplay. Hard to predict the scenes, though one would know where the story is heading and that's the difference in this movie. Keep in mind when you're going try it, that you're not watching a Bond movie or a Peter Jackson's, but a small budget comedy. Anticipate as much what the movie weighs, overall and you would never regret for watching it. As usual a perfect role for Melissa McCarthy, but Susan Sarandon was surprisingly good. It was just a fun road-movie, mostly a semi-fictional to the reality, but who knows there might be people out like these film characters. Like I said, a decent story, it had all the ingredient to be a good comedy flick except one serious scene at the end needed to turn over. Yep, I would have liked to have an unexpected twist, that could have been a game changer in the movie's success. Anyone can enjoy it, if he's/she's open minded. I am already expecting the next movie from the same cast and crew combo which is due early next years. P.S, there's something between Melissa McCarthy and prison. In the next film I mentioned as well she will be seen in the prison. 6/10

Tammy, si bien no resulta una comedia inteligente, si logra sacar risas y algunos gags bastante efectivos. Esta película, que no parte de una historia muy original que se diga, al fin y al cabo se clasifica como un film disfrutable que no cae en la corriente de volverse tonto y absurdo. Se puede decir que quizá no resulta con un tono atractivo, pero de alguna forma se las ingenia para resultar ser un largometraje que logra entretener y que se va en un tono un tanto alocado, tanto en el buen sentido como del malo.

Not being a McCarthy "fan" I wasn't sure if the first act establishing Tammy as a gross, off-putting, self-loathing, childish character was deliberate. Like maybe a set-up for something funny or even palatable. I was wrong.

Usually I prefer my comedies to be funny, but maybe thats just me. Rating - 33%
