TAMMY is a decent little movie and is NOT anything like BRIDESMAIDS! Critics are panning the film, because the critics want that absurdity and comedy of Hangover & Bridesmaids. This film was written by Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone, and directed by Ben Falcone. It's a simple little black comedy with some really good actors! There are some extremely funny moments, but most importantly there is a story to follow that pretty much keeps on track. It's like Thelma & Louise, but it's later when Louise is now an elderly alcoholic living with her daughter, and she decides to hit the road again with her grand daughter - played by McCarthy. What's different about Tammy is how alcohol can really effect a family. So I applaud McCarthy and Falcone for a wonderful first endeavor, and I encourage any Mellissa McCarthy fan to see it. You won't be disappointed if you understand that its NOT BRIDESMAIDS!
