Best movie of this year hands down!

Thanks for the memories!

Excellent but underrated film

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Ok, yes I gave it a 10. Is it the best made movie? No. Did it make me laugh? Yes yes yes. The first half hour of this movie is hilarious. I keep a video clip on my phone and replay it whenever I need a laugh. I gave it a 10 because it's s go to movie for me when I want something mindless and funny.

A movie with the title of the main character usually means that person is kind of… you know… unique and, um... special... Well in a matter of speaking, the latter fits TAMMY since it's a "labor of love" by star Melissa McCarthy, serving as a producer and co-writer along with her husband and the film's director, Ben Falcone.We begin with Tammy hitting a deer, the first similarity to Chris Farley's TOMMY BOY, and not the last: Both centering on a self-evasive, overweight slacker with a heart of gold, our husky heroine, TAMMY, revels in her problems, including a wrecked car, lost job, cheating husband and a comparably raw and restless grandmother…Enter Susan Sarandon, the reason TAMMY is being compared to the iconic feminist cult flick, THELMA & LOUISE... But be warned: this is not a road movie. After a quick highway montage, promising themselves an adventure full of cathartic mileage, Tammy and Sarandon's bluntly honest Pearl hit a snag after one night of drinking. At this point the movie repeats itself with saucy conversations about how Tammy needs a point in life, and Pearl needs less men, pills, alcohol. And so, as a loose cannon, Sarandon doesn't provide very much input or purpose. For an actress with her talent and long-lasting career, with the exception of a gray mop of a phony looking wig, she doesn't seem to be the age she's playing... Instead of trying to portray an old lady who tries to be young and gets away with it, but still suffering just a bit, deep down, she's just... Susan Sarandon. And McCarthy has little to offer as well, having, along with her husband, written a story so self-absorbed, it hardly seems catered to an audience at all. (More at CultFilmFreaks.com)

I do believe that Melissa McCarthy is a good and funny actress but she seems to just be playing the same thing over and over lately and Tammy is no different.The cast is top notch with Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, Allison Janney, Dan Aykroyd, Toni Collette and Sandra Oh joining McCarthy but that still doesn't help it from being a crap movie!There are some laughs but they are easily forgettable, the story is predictable and the movie as a whole is only marginally better than Identity Thief.Watched once but will never watch again.

Why all the heavy negativity about this silly movie? No, it's not Oscar material, but not every movie needs to be or is meant to be. Besides, comedies rarely win.I don't usually like crude or vulgar humor, but I had to laugh at a lot in this flick. Yes, some of the "jokes" bomb, but there are a lot of good laughs, too. I think some people are uncomfortable laughing at a hefty, dense woman whose self-esteem may be a patchwork, but she's a good person. Maybe we see some of our selves in there, parts of our selves that we are not comfortable with.I LOVED Susan Sarandon's performance. I seriously doubt she was looking for an Oscar here, or, as some have suggested, is desperate for any role she can get. I thought her character was a fun trip away from what we expect from a "grandma," and I think Sarandon played it well. In fact, I'd like to know this character if she really existed. She'd be a lot of fun and full of surprises.It's not necessary to be shocked that some great actors had small roles here. It was a great idea, and you never know how a script, its actors, directors, producers, etc. will gel in the end.It worked for me (for the most part.) It's one of the few movies I've paid to see at a cinema lately that didn't make me regret the expenditure.
