Tammy (2014)

A Funny Feel Good Movie

[28 November 2014]

Frankly Melissa is laughing all the way to the bank. I thought the movie was funny in places poignant in others. I would see it again easily. With all the phony, pretentious movie making, this to me just looked like fun. Fun to watch and I bet it was fun to make.

Tammy starts out a minimum wage, screw up. I have seen Adam Sandler do comedy in the same vein. He is brilliant at it and so is she. Then it progresses and deals with a woman who is forced to face her issues and grow up. So there was a recovery sense to it, and for the drunken Susan Sarandon too. It was very funny and human. I love Kathy Bates, and was happy to see her in it also.

So don't watch if you don't want to, but I loved it. I giggled and felt for a lost person, who starts to gain insight. All of the negative reviews really are people's opinion. Mine is I loved it!! Also it cost 2om to make and grossed 84m. She got a cut, so I am sure she loved it too...

Take your negativity elsewhere, I would watch anything she did.

Identity Thief (2013)

Hilarious!!!

[9/10 · 8 March 2013]

This is a hilarious movie, I laughed all the way through. It reminds me of old slapstick movies when Melissa McCarthy(Diana)uses physical comedy to outwit Jason Batemen (Sandy Patterson). Diana is a damaged woman who steals identities, prints credit cards and goes into a spending frenzy until she burns out the person's credit.

The gentle Sandy (who has to constantly defend his feminine sounding name) manages his meager salary to the penny. He finally gets the opportunity in a new company to advance and is shocked when he loses his new job due to Diana's tribulations. His new firm is unwilling to employ him until he clears his name.

Sandy goes to Florida to bring Diana back with him. They embark on a comical and bonding road trip Denver. Amanda Peet plays his loyal wife Trish and the amazing Jones girls Maggie Elizabeth Jones(We Bought a Zoo), and her sister Mary Charles-Jones play Sandy's cute daughters.

I laughed all the way through. Melissa McCarthy is a wonderful comic and can do no wrong as far as I am concerned!!! I have read other reviews but frankly I did not like Horrible Bosses and the most funny part of Bridesmaid was Melissa McCarthy. People in the audience of the theater were laughing their heads off. So I stand by a movie meant to make us laugh, it did.
