For Tammy (Melissa McCarthy), a burger-joint waitress, a bad day keeps getting worse. She wrecks her car, loses her job and finds her husband in a compromising position with their neighbor. It's time for Tammy to hit the road, but without money or transportation, her options are limited. Her only choice is a road trip with her grandmother, Pearl (Susan Sarandon), who has a car, cash and an itch to see Niagara Falls. It's not the escape Tammy had in mind, but it may be what she needs.

Critics Consensus

Melissa McCarthy remains an engaging screen presence, but her efforts aren't enough to keep the jumbled Tammy on track.

Andi Zeisler Bitch Media We've expected makeover narratives and personal-growth realizations from women on screen... in Tammy, we get a character - and her creator - patently uninterested in most of that journey. For Hollywood, that's radical. Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 'Tammy' is a disappointment, because it asks an energetic, unpredictable performer to play it so calculatingly, frustratingly safe. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Evan Williams The Australian The filmmakers never quite find the balance between real-life experience and freewheeling nonsense that drives the best comic road movies. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 17, 2014 Full Review Robert Sims Lights Camera Austin Tammy is the slob comedy Alexander Payne is too dignified to write and direct. Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema Dead on arrival. Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 1, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse By the end of the credits Tammy doesn't feel like a comedy - although there are several giggles sprinkled throughout - as much as it does a waste of talent. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

alan g Melisa McCooties can't act and ruins what might have Bern a decent film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Aria R MUST watch movie, always a good option to watch. Great actors and funny plot Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Ricky C One of the worst movies ever created. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Nathan G What a piece of garbage film - it's Susan Sarandon's 'finest' performance - meaning she is one of the worst parts of the film. Man oh man that one cannot act. Sheesh. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Alec B Not great but it is a little better than the strangely hostile negative reviews. It is a great role for McCarthy, crass yet enduring. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Beth T I love Melissa MCarthy, but this movie was so cringe I couldn't even watch all of it. I fast forwarded it through big chunks. And I NEVER do that. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
