Tammy [DVD] [2014]

I think McCarthy is a brilliant comedy talent, hilarious in The Heat and Identity Thief, but in Tammy, written and produced by her, and I think directed by her husband, comes off a little more buttoned down and tame. It seems as if Team Melissa are subtly trying to tweak her image to be slightly more mature and mainstream. As a result, the flow seems affected, something seems missing. The romantic interest scenes with Mark Duplass, who has a lot of potential, come off slightly wooden and lacking sincerity. McCarthy is at her best improvising a little and playing the ton-of-fun bad girl as far as a given scene requires, and this film pulls back from that formula. However, Sarandon has a great understated role, as well as Kathy Bates, and the small town whiskey-tango element of Tammy is well presented, and I still say it's worth seeing.

Fun at times. As always Susan Sarandan and Kathy Bates are wonderful

Despite generally unfavorable reviews, my family and I enjoyed watching Tammy together. Melissa McCarthy was particularly crass at times, but we expected this since it's pretty much her shtick. Susan Sarandon gave a wonderful performance as her alcoholic grandmother, which made this less of a straight comedy and delivered some truly poignant moments between the two characters. If you're looking for a laugh-a-minute then this is not the movie for you. But if you like a little drama with your comedy and a leading lady that's anything but the conventional idealized Hollywood version of woman, then give Tammy a chance! The DVD provided a fine picture and strong audio mix.

My expectations were somewhat low, before watching this movie, but I have to say, it was very entertaining and funny. I had heard mixed reviews of this movie and a lot of criticism of it not being very funny, however, I found plenty to laugh at and was entertained the whole way through. It wasn't Melissa McCarthy's best work, but it was a long way from her worst, and the supporting cast was humorous as well. Overall, this was a entertaining movie and worth the watch, it is also worth buying because the Ultraviolet copy is included in the purchase price.

The movie has it moments, but lacks in some spots. I believe the movie could of done better, but the movie is just missing some times through out. I expected it to be alot better then what it was, the previews make it look as if it's a real laugh, but surprise it is not. They should of done better at putting together. There are spots that just drag on and make it just a little bit disappointing. Sorry, I thought movie would of been better then what it was.....

My daughter enjoys McCarthy films an this one was no different - item arrived as advertised brand new an sealed thx best buy

Typical plain comedy, not great, not bad, will probably watch it again, love the grama, she was hilarious.

Great and funny movie with a few heartfelt moments. McCarthy is always fun to watch with supported by Susan Sarandon as a surprising and hilarious addition to the cast.
