| UproxxHeather DockrayOnly two people were asleep when I went to go see Tammy, but by the time I left, all of us were unconscious. Helpless dogs trapped in a dark purse of a movie. |
| Film Journal InternationalMichael SauterIn every important way, Tammy is the better McCarthy vehicle [than Identity Thief]. It's warmer, wittier, far less slickly contrived, and much more recognizably human, in its emotions and behavior |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordIt is admirable that McCarthy and Falcone try to push an agenda that gives the young perspective on their elders (and vice versa), but except for a (very) few funny set pieces, the film's pretty flat. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowI can't help thinking that the over-the-top antics were the trade-off to get financing for the film, and the quieter moments were what interested them. |
| Detroit NewsTom Long[McCarthy] has the potential to be so much more. She can't be a whole lot less than she is in "Tammy." |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. Means[McCarthy has] layers, some grit under the jokey façade, and a determination to find -- or, if necessary, create -- the roles that bring out those different shades. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldJake Wilson[Something] in Tammy you wouldn't expect to see in a mainstream comedy [is] the romantic pairing of McCarthy with indie heartthrob Mark Duplass, reversing the formula of the male slob who gets the conventionally beautiful girl. |
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Padraic McKiernanThe good news about this enjoyable piece is that they do manage to raise a few laughs. McCarthy's knockabout schtick is bound to get old at some stage, but it hasn't happened yet, while Sarandon isn't found wanting in the comic smarts department. |
| Seven DaysRick KisonakThis is a road movie in which Melissa McCarthy - one of the planet's funniest people - takes her audience down a dead end. |
| Urban CinefileLouise KellerContender for worst film of the year, Tammy is painful. If you are looking for a good laugh, a well-written script, engaging characters, quirky relationships, a story with heart and having a whale of a time, this Melissa McCarthy comedy is not it |
