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.

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

Gi S The first time I watched this several years ago I cashed it out but upon a 2nd viewing I thought it was pretty funny, and I'm not a melissa mccarthy fan. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Hayleigh P. Melissa McCarthy has to be my favorite actress. Tammy is easily one of the best movies made 😭😭 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Garrick N Melissa tried to save this film, but the directing was just so bad that it was just a pure cringefest. I came so close to turning the movie off multiple times, which NEVER happens for me. A lot of it was just scripts that were improvised with no actual good attempt at a funny interaction. This was listed as a comedy, but 90% of it was cringe or just sad. It didn't really leave you with a happy or fun feeling. I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
