Road trip! Oh, you can’t swing it? No problem, I can fix that. Or at least get you in to watch somebody else trip. Y’all know what I mean. Passes for the Baltimore screening of Tammy everybody!

Here’s the synopsis – a nice in-depth one too – from our lovely and talent PR folks:

Synopsis:

Oscar® nominee Melissa McCarthy (“Bridesmaids”) and Academy Award® winner Susan Sarandon (“Dead Man Walking”) star in New Line Cinema’s comedy “Tammy,” marking Ben Falcone’s directorial debut.

Tammy (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 (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 Pearl riding shotgun, it may be just what Tammy needs.

The film also stars Allison Janney (“The Help”), playing Tammy’s world-weary mom, Deb; Gary Cole (TV’s “VEEP”) as ladies man Earl; and Mark Duplass (HBO’s “Togetherness”) as his son, Bobby; with Dan Aykroyd (“The Campaign”) as Tammy’s dad, Don; and Academy Award® winner Kathy Bates (“Misery,” “Midnight in Paris”) as Pearl’s fun-loving cousin Lenore.  Rounding out the cast are Sandra Oh (TV’’s “Grey’s Anatomy”) as Lenore’s partner, Susanne; Oscar® nominee Toni Collette (“The Sixth Sense”) as Tammy’s neighbor, Missi; and Nat Faxon (“Bad Teacher”) as Tammy’s husband, Greg.

The screenplay is by Melissa McCarthy & Ben Falcone.  Will Ferrell and Adam McKay produced the film with McCarthy.  Rob Cowan, Falcone, Chris Henchy, Kevin Messick, Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener and Michael Disco served as executive producers.

The behind-the-scenes team included director of photography Russ Alsobrook (“Paul Blart: Mall Cop”), production designer Jefferson Sage (“This is 40”), and editor Mike Sale (“Bridesmaids”).  The music is by Michael Andrews (“Bad Teacher”).

          New Line Cinema presents a Gary Sanchez/On the Day production, “Tammy.” The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.

This film has been rated R for language, including sexual references.

Want some funny? Something a little off the beaten shtick? Gotcha. And I can help.

For aspiring comedian Donna Stern, everyday life as a female twenty-something provides ample material for her incredibly relatable brand of humor. On stage, Donna is unapologetically herself, joking about topics as intimate as her sex life and as crude as her day-old underwear. But when Donna gets dumped, loses her job, and finds herself pregnant just in time for Valentine’s Day, she has to navigate the murky waters of independent adulthood for the first time.

As she grapples with an uncertain financial future, an unwanted pregnancy, and a surprising new suitor, Donna begins to discover that the most terrifying thing about adulthood isn’t facing it all on her own. It’s allowing herself to accept the support and love of others. And be truly vulnerable. Never failing to find the comedy and humanity in each awkward situation she encounters, Donna finds out along the way what it means to be as brave in life as she is on stage.

Anchored by a breakout performance from Jenny Slate, OBVIOUS CHILD is a winning discovery, packed tight with raw, energetic comedy and moments of poignant human honesty. Writer/Director Gillian Robespierre handles the topic of Donna’s unwanted pregnancy with a refreshing matter-of-factness rarely seen onscreen. And with Donna, Slate and Robespierre have crafted a character for the ages – a female audiences will recognize, cheer for, and love.

Who doesn’t love Frankie Valli and Four Seasons? I remember listening to them on the oldies channel back at the ol’ neighborhood pool. Mmmm, Summertime.

Wanna see the music that brings their awesome doo-wop to the big screen? (Hint: yes, yes you do.) Jersey Boys has you covered. Need more information? Gotcha covered. Hit it, PR peeps!

Clint Eastwood’s big screen version of the Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of the four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who came together to form the iconic `60s rock group The Four Seasons.  Their trials and triumphs are accompanied by the hit songs that influenced a generation, and are now being embraced by a new generation of fans through the stage musical.

“Sherry”, “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, “Walk Like A Man”, and my favorite, “December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)” – though gotta say I really love 1993 remix – are all here, and more. Eastwood ain’t skimping y’all.

And here’s how to get passes….
