Plot
Tammy (Melissa McCarthy), a down-on-her-luck burger-joint waitress, has a bad day that keeps getting worse. She wrecks her car, loses her job, and finds her husband cheating on her with their neighbor. 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 grandmother, Pearl (Susan Sarandon), 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.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Tammy is an unlikable main protagonist. In fact, almost everyone in this movie is unlikable.
 * 2) The jokes are terrible and repetitive, with many bad jokes about Tammy being fat, stupid, and foul-mouthed.
 * 3) Poor acting.
 * 4) Wasted talents of Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, Sandra Oh, and Dan Aykroyd.
 * 5) Susan Sarandon doesn't look old enough to play Tammy's, middle-aged woman, grandmother. The same with Allison Janney playing her mother.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) There are some heartwarming moments between Tammy and Pearl.
 * 2) The robbery scene is pretty funny.
