Tammy, in the end, feels like a pulled punch. McCarthy promises a haymaker she never quite delivers.
59
Basically a drama-in-disguise. Unfortunately, it’s a formulaic and extremely uneven one, albeit with a number of sympathetic performances.
40
Falcone’s attempts to spin this flat, formulaic comedy into an affecting character drama are frustrated by filmmaking choices that work against a sense of persuasive reality.

Village Voice
Falcone’s film is an unsteady mix of broad comedy and indie heart, asking us first to roar at Tammy’s ignorance and outrageousness and then to be moved at this lovable misfit muddling toward love, maturity, and a better life.
40
The fact that it stars the extremely funny Melissa McCarthy is both its saving grace and incredibly frustrating.
