Review of Tammy

Tammy (2014)
2/10
Melissa McCarthy's latest, Tammy, was mostly blah for me
6 July 2014
You know, if this movie had a tone and stuck to it, this might have been an enjoyable flick to watch. But first, it tries to be slapstick-like at the beginning, then more light-hearted in giving the characters a good time, and then a little dramatic concerning the near-death of one of those characters. The result: Tammy is mostly boring even at a little over 90 minutes. I liked Melissa McCarthy (who co-wrote this) and Susan Sarandon as her grandma singing The Allman Brothers' "Midnight Rider". And some of their dialogue exchanges had some charm. But mostly, I was just underwhelmed by the whole thing. Oh, and Dan Aykroyd as McCarthy's father was a not-too-inspired cameo. So on that note, I can't recommend Tammy.
