Synopsis
For Tammy, a burger-joint employee, a bad day keeps getting worse. She wrecks her car, loses her job and finds that her husband has been unfaithful. 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 hard-drinking grandmother, Pearl, 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.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Tammy, in the end, feels like a pulled punch. McCarthy promises a haymaker she never quite delivers. - 59
Film.com
Basically a drama-in-disguise. Unfortunately, it’s a formulaic and extremely uneven one, albeit with a number of sympathetic performances. - 40
Variety
Falcone’s attempts to spin this flat, formulaic comedy into an affecting character drama are frustrated by filmmaking choices that work against a sense of persuasive reality. - 40
Village Voice
Falcone’s film is an unsteady mix of broad comedy and indie heart, asking us first to roar at Tammy’s ignorance and outrageousness and then to be moved at this lovable misfit muddling toward love, maturity, and a better life. - 40
New York Daily News
The fact that it stars the extremely funny Melissa McCarthy is both its saving grace and incredibly frustrating. - 33
Hitfix
Tammy is a mess, and it feels like a real misstep for this rising star. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
It’s a waste of a good cast as well as a serious trip-wire for McCarthy, who may know what’s best for her talents but, on the evidence, needs a deft-handed outsider to make sure she’s maximizing them. - 30
TheWrap
[McCarthy] and her husband Falcone (who also directed) have created a character comedy that's missing both comedy and character.
