Melissa McCarthy is "Tammy"

Susan Sarandon, Will Ferrell and Melissa McCarthy walk the red carpet in Los Angeles to celebrate the opening of their new comedy, "Tammy."

The film tells the story of a woman facing multiple life-changing disasters looking to escape her small Midwestern hometown.

She enlists the help of her grandmother, played by Sarandon, to accompany her on a cross-country road trip to turn her life around.

McCarthy, joined by her hubby Ben Falcone, who directed and co-wrote the film, said there is a little Tammy in all of us.

SOUNDBITE: Melissa McCarthy, actress, saying (English):

" I think we all know all the right decisions we should be making and that everyday we do not make those choices and you make a new list and you say tomorrow I'm going to do this, this and this and then you don't and I think it's part of, you know, there's a little bit of our own worst enemy in all of us. So, I love that kind of struggle of someone trying to be better but not being so perfect
