Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

Little Miss Sunshine is a hilarious feel-good movie. It is unassuming but delightful. Each character is such a character, brought to life by a strong cast. The young Abigail Breslin is brilliant. I found myself genuinely laughing on my redeye flight at approximately 3AM. This was way better than sleeping.

Tammy (2014)

Tammy is Melissa McCarthy's latest reincarnation of the same old character she always plays.  She typecast herself in a role that does not really let her talents shine.  She is a very funny comedian but I fear that in the future she will continue to be typecast.  The character is great in Bridesmaids,  but I think the audience has tired of it.  Susan Sarandon makes for a great crazy grandmother character.   The dynamic between her and McCarthy,  however, does not work nearly as well as with McCarthy and Sandra Bullock in The Heat.   Sarandon really gives it her all given subpar script.  It is amazing how many big names this script attracted and really goes to show the power and popularity of McCarthy.
