Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattJul 1, 2014
It's a broad, helter-skelter farce whose best bits hinge almost entirely on the considerable charms of its star. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghJul 2, 2014
The film ricochets between Tammy being an oblivious cartoon goblin and a textured, sympathetic human being who just wants to be loved. Perhaps if the film had catered a little less to McCarthy's comedic gifts — the curse-word fugue states, the slapstick humor, the non sequiturs — the end result would have felt more balanced and rewarding.

The DissolveNathan RabinJul 1, 2014
A crowd-pleasing, proudly working-class celebration of large women, old women, broke women, and women who love women, Tammy isn’t just consistently funny and unexpectedly touching and tender, it’s also genuinely subversive. Read full review

McCarthy is aggressive and foul-mouthed while Sarandon is sensible and laid-back. And they’re clearly destined for trouble, which leads to solid if scattered laughs. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperJul 2, 2014
When you’re balancing ridiculous slapstick right out of a live-action cartoon with well-written, well-acted scenes that feel completely of this world, that’s a tough balancing act, and “Tammy” isn’t quite up to the task on a consistent basis. Read full review

The movie shoves McCarthy and Sarandon in a car together quickly, without much in the way of expository set-up. Read full review

Tammy, in the end, feels like a pulled punch. McCarthy promises a haymaker she never quite delivers. Read full review
