TAMMY

Finished this script by Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone.

Script has the funniest lines I've read all year.  Tammy is a riot.  Story's about Tammy as she gets fired from her job and Hardee's and comes home to find her husband with another woman.  Enraged, she goes on a road-trip.  Since she doesn't have any money, she takes her grandmother along.

When I heard the pitch, I wasn't thrilled to read the script.  However, the pages flow and the dialogue makes you laugh aloud.

The problem isn't with the writing or the story.  The problem is with the audience.  Namely, how are you going to find one if you make this movie?  Who's going to see it?  BRIDESMAIDS drew a male audience.  I doubt that's going to happen here.  BRIDESMAIDS drew a teenage crowd.  Again, I don't think you'll duplicate that with this film.

I would have to pass on the script even though it's funny as hell.  Even if you could make this on a low-budget, you'd be hard-pressed to turn a profit.
