Tammy's life seems to have just become an unfortunate string of events having been dismissed from her job at fast food joint Toppy Jacks and discovered that her husband has been having an affair with the neighbour. Now penniless and virtually homeless, Tammy decides to set out on a road trip to Niagara Falls. Her mother down the street refuses to lend her the car, however, and she is forced to beg a favour from her diabetic but resolutely alcoholic grandmother Pearl. Unfortunately for Tammy, Pearl wants to come along for the ride, and after finding out that Pearl has enough money to provide for them both on the way, Tammy accepts - even if it means becoming her grandmother's personal carer. It's by no means a smooth ride, with Pearl getting arrested and Tammy trying to rob a Toppy Jacks, but it could change both their lives forever.

This charming comedy is about self-discovery and family bonds, and serves as the directorial debut of actor Ben Falcone. It is also Oscar nominated actress Melissa McCarthy's ('The Heat', 'Bridesmaids') first foray into screenwriting and both star in the film with the latter playing the title character. 'Tammy' is currently scheduled for release in the UK on July 4th 2014.
