Rex Reed: Melissa McCarthy Gives ‘Tammy’ Her All, but It’s Nowhere Near Enough
New York Observer ^ | July 3, 2014 | Rex Reed

The good news is that Tammy is not a crappy remake of the 1957 Tammy movie with Debbie Reynolds that spawned three sequels and a TV comedy series. The bad news is that this one is much worse. It’s a desperate and brainless vehicle for Melissa McCarthy, which she wrote herself, with her husband, Ben Falcone, who also directed, with all the efficiency and verve of an abandoned Volkswagen on the Jersey Turnpike. There isn’t a single shred of evidence that either of them has one iota of talent in the world of filmmaking. Tammy is not just a celebration of everything vulgar and stupid in the dumbing down of American movies. It’s a rambling, pointless and labored attempt to cash in on Ms. McCarthy’s fan base without respect for any audience with a collective IQ of 10. And it’s about as funny as a liver transplant.

How does it feel to be 267 years old?

This looks so bad, I’m surprised it got made.

I don’t imagine McCarthy’s fans will like it either, it clearly puts big fat slobs in a terrible light. The “fat pride” people should be up in arms.

Crazy, fat woman doing stupid things.

Michelle Obama will take over in Jan 2017...she's a natural for those roles.

“One hour and 36 minutes of farting, belching, snoring...”: From Rex Reed’s review of the sow’s “Tammy”

I truly HATE that fugly life form. If it came out as a hardcore Republican, I’d become a RAT out of pure spite.

A drone needs to remove that feral hog from the gene pool.
