Part of being a movie buff for me means that even while on vacation, I still need to find a theater and see a flick. It was a rainy day in Pentwater, MI, so the boy and I made a trip to Ludington to see Tammy. It is 4th of July weekend which usually implies some major releases. For us it was Tammy or Transformers. Now I know Transformers was the bigger hit, but I just can't sit through over 2 hours of it. Not my cup of tea, and for those of you who I enjoy it, that is awesome. But in all honesty, I am kind of wishing I had gone with option b.
Tammy (played by the wonderfully hilarious Melissa McCarthy) is extremely down on her luck. She hits a deer, destroys her car, gets fired from her job, and finds out her hubby is cheating on her with the neighbor..........all in one morning! She needs out of this life and it appears the only one with the money and transportation is her alcoholic grandmother (Love Susan Sarandon!). The two make a road trip to Niagara Falls and make some discoveries along the way. Grandma learns to stop drinking and Tammy finds true love after all. The end.
Not my usual blog? Yeah, well.......I honestly don't know what to say. First of all, Melissa and Susan, you are better than this! Each of you should have run after reading the story line. Tammy was pretty much Melissa doing some outlandish things over and over again. It had a few funny parts but that was literally it. The character development was lacking and had very generic plot development. I'd say this and All About Steve (Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper) are both in the same category. So my friends, save your money!
