Trivia
There is only 24 years difference in age between Melissa McCarthy (Tammy) and Susan Sarandon (Tammy's grandmother, Pearl). Furthermore, there is only 11 years difference between McCarthy and Allison Janney, who plays her mother. See more »Goofs
When Pearl and Tammy are arrested the judge sets her bond at $3000, and the police officer tells Tammy that she must come up with that amount to get Pearl out. In reality most bondsmen will bond you out for 10-15% of your bond, making it roughly $300-450 to get Pearl out. See more »Crazy Credits
There is a blooper from the scene when Tammy gets fired a minute into the credits. See more »Soundtracks

I'm very surprised at all the negative reviews this film has received as I believe those who rated it negatively aren't accepting the movie for what it is. It is your typical Melissa McCarthy movie and for me that is a good thing. Her character in this film is almost identical to her character from "Identity Thief" but I don't have a problem with it like others do as I feel that is her comedic strong point. She isn't afraid to go that extra mile for a laugh. If you're on the fence on whether to rent or buy this movie just ask yourself if you liked her in Bradesmaids and Identity Thief and if your answer is yes, you will not be disappointed with her performance here.
