Melissa McCarthy is Hollywoodโ€™s new sweetheart, snapping up starring roles left, right and centre. Catch her in the title role of your #SundayNightMovie, Tammy, on 13 September at 20:05 on M-Net and 20:30 on M-Net Movies Premiere.

Far from being the conventional Hollywood heroine, McCarthy has carved a niche for herself in Tinseltown using her comedic talent and timing. As Bridesmaids proved, sheโ€™s also great as part of an ensemble cast, but she wonโ€™t easily play second fiddle to a male star.

Tammy marks another casting triumph, casting her in the lead role. Nevertheless, sheโ€™s definitely a sport and is surrounded by an esteemed cast that includes Susan Sarandon, Allison Janney, Kathy Bates and Dan Aykroyd.

Itโ€™s particularly interesting that the latter forms part of Tammyโ€™s cast, seeing as McCarthy is set to co-star in the Ghostbusters remake in 2016, a movie that starred Akroyd in the original and for which he co-wrote the script.

Like Akroyd, McCarthy is pretty involved behind the scenes as well. For Tammy she took on producing duties, and wrote the script with director Ben Falcone. Sheโ€™s done a bit of directing herself, having helmed three episodes of Mike and Molly.

Make sure you catch Melissa McCarthy take on more comedy in Tammy this Sunday, 13 September, at 20:05 on M-Net and 20:30 on M-Net Movies Premiere.
