Tammy

Melissa McCarthy stars as Tammy, a woman having a bad day when she loses her car, job, and husband. Needing to escape her situation, she ends up on a road trip with her grandma (Susan Sarandon). For this film, McCarthy teams up with her husband, Ben Falcone, for producing and writing credits. Falcone also directs and has a bit part. If you've seen McCarthy in "Identity Theft" and "Heat", you'll get more or less the same character type. Alien found the antics of these two road trip buddies more obnoxious than funny. The well-known cast of Allison Janey, Toni Collette, Kathy Bates, Sandra Oh, Gary Cole, and Dan Akroyd is under used in minor roles. Look for a final scene and a gag reel clip during the credits.

Alien gives it 2 "Niagara Falls" stars out of 4.
