Melissa McCarthy and Susan Sarandon on a road trip. McCarthy is title character Tammy, who finds her life disintegrating from bad to unbearable (husband cheats, fired from job, lives with mom). On a whim, she sets out on a road trip with her grandmother (Sarandon) toward Niagra Falls. This trip is fraught with peril and hijinks. Unfortunately, all the peril and hijinks are only moderately funny, the McCarthy-Sarandon sentimental/grow-up-this-is-real-life story doesn't really work and McCarthy comes off largely as a whiney, self-loathing woman. So while I laughed a few times throughout, this was not a strong offering.
2 stars (out of 5)
