I really enjoy the physical comedy of Melissa McCarthy and her film Tammy in which she plays the starring role had potential but did not live up to my own personal expectations. The story line was written by the husband and wife team of Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy so they have no one to blame. I am assuming the inexperience of the writer/director Ben Falcone had a lot to do with the film petering out halfway through it.
Heck, they even had the reputable star and original Louise (Susan Srandon) from the classic 1991 Thelma & Louise road trip film playing Tammy's grandmother who fronts the money and her own vehicle for the Grandma and Granddaughter road trip gone wrong.
I was so looking forward to being entertained by Ms. McCarthy and Ms. Sarandon but unfortunately I was disappointed. My advice to Miss McCarthy was leave the husbandry to your husband Ben Falcone, and leave the directing to a seasoned and proven director such as a Ridley Scott or a Clint Eastwood both who have directed successful road trip films.
I can only provide a less than stellar 5 out of 10 IMDb rating.
