The movie's principal intention is to make you laugh at a loser, and revel in scenes from which polite people would instinctively turn away.

John Anderson, Wall Street Journal
Rotten

It's obnoxious when it means to be comic, and excruciating when it wants to be moving.

Michael Sragow, Orange County Register
Rotten

It's a rambling, pointless and labored attempt to cash in on Ms. McCarthy's fan base without respect for any audience with a collective IQ of 10. And it's about as funny as a liver transplant.

Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten

McCarthy's performance of unself-conscious uncouthness celebrates the freedom to be undignified. And, still, it's being misused.

Wesley Morris, Grantland
Rotten

Tammy is an object lesson in the art of directing, which is all it would have taken to turn this near-miss into an instant classic. Though that may be true of most mediocre movies.

Richard Brody, New Yorker
