Tammy

Review by Grace Snyder

When TAMMY begins, viewers may be convinced that they are in for a stale drama about finding oneself after failure. Tammy (Melissa McCarthy) is in the midst of a crisis; her car has been totaled, she loses her job at a fast food restaurant, and she catches her husband cheating on her with a neighbor. All signs point to a story line that is all too well-known. However, that is not what TAMMY delivers. Co-written by McCarthy herself (and her husband, director Ben Falcone), TAMMY is anything but ordinary. Just like the shining star that is McCarthy, TAMMY is full of relentless and nonstop hilarity.
