Melissa McCarthy & Susan Sarandon Hit The Road In ‘Tammy’ Trailer

A full-length trailer for Melissa McCarthy-led summer comedy TAMMY has been released today with our first look at the road trip she is forced to take with her Grandmother (Susan Sarandon) as her only means out of town.  Directed by McCarthy’s husband Ben Falcone (his directorial debut) and co-written by the two the movie follows Tammy after she loses her job and finds out her husband is cheating on her. Desperate to get away for a while she is forced to team up with her kooky, slightly alcoholic Grandmother for a ride to pastures new. 

Don’t get us wrong Melissa McCarthy could be funny with a bag on her head, in fact she proves just that in both the teaser trailer and this extended version, and she has proved her comedy chops in several movies.  In 2013’s HEAT she showed she can pull off being one part of a female comedy duo with Sandra Bullock as her partner-in-crime but there’s something about this trailer that puts us off the movie – perhaps a sense we have seen the circumstances and comedy before; not just in HEAT but in IDENTITY THIEF as well.  McCarthy has several upcoming projects that we are excited about however, including co-starring with Naomi Watts and Bill Murray in ST. VINCENT DE VAN NUYS and re-teaming with her Bridesmaids co-star ROSE BYRNE and director PAUL FEIG in SPY; the adventures of secret agent Susan Cooper.

One huge thing TAMMY has going for it is the cast list; with Allison Janney, Kathy Bates, Mark Duplass and Dan Aykroyd on board hopefully the script will be worthy of their various talents.  Here’s the trailer for you to judge for yourselves, with TAMMY in UK cinemas on July 4th.
