Tammy is a new comedy featuring Melissa McCarthy as a fat loudmouth who shouts a lot… so she’s really playing against type, here… and a new UK trailer has now been released.
The plot, such that it is, is that she has been fired from a fast food restaurant and returns home only to find her husband enjoying a romantic meal with the neighbour. She quickly packs her things and travels down three houses to her parent’s home. Upon denied use of her mom’s car to drive to Niagara Falls, she quickly resorts to an “ailing” grandmother, who also lives in the home…
However, instead of traveling alone, Grandma Pearl (Susan Sarandon) wants in on the road trip. After realizing Pearl has the funds, they hit the road, and she soon proves to be quite the alcoholic despite her diabetes, and Tammy quickly turns into the “baby-sitter”. From finding love in a bar to robbing a Toppy Jack’s in order to bail Pearl out of jail,the quirky adventure will have you finding yourself riding along for the misadventures of Tammy.
Also starring Sandra Oh, Toni Collette, Allison Janney, Dan Aykroyd, Kathy Bates and Gary Cole, Tammy is released in the UK on July 4th, and despite my reservations when the first trailer came out, this new UK one really builds on that and it’s a film I very much want to see. I will burn in hell for saying that…
