Melissa McCarthy - 'Tammy' - Melissa McCarthy talks about how her husband, Ben Falcone, came up with the idea for her new movie 'Tammy' in a dream and describes how together, they incorporated that dream into a full length feature film. She also says it was like being a kid in a candy story working with co-stars such as Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, Gary Cole and Dan Aykroyd.


Tammy movie synopsis:

Tammy (Melissa McCarthy) is having a bad day. She's totaled her clunker car, gotten fired from her thankless job at a greasy burger joint, and instead of finding comfort at home, finds her husband getting comfortable with the neighbor in her own house. It's time to take her boom box and book it.

The bad news is she's broke and without wheels. The worse news is her grandma, Pearl (Susan Sarandon), is her only option -- with a car, cash, and an itch to see Niagara Falls. Not exactly the escape Tammy had in mind. But on the road, with grandma riding shot gun, it may be just what Tammy needs.

Starring: Melissa McCarthy, Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, Allison Janney, Dan Aykroyd, Mark Duplass, Gary Cole, Nat Faxon, Toni Collette, Sandra Oh, Ben Falcone
