In Tammy, McCarthy plays the titular character – a woman who finds herself unemployed and married to a cheating husband. After holding up a fast food joint, she goes on the run to Niagra Falls with her drunkard of a grandmother, played by Susan Sarandon.

The movie, co-written by McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone, is Falcone’s directorial debut.
