It's very possible that Shia LaBeouf took a hint from Melissa McCarthy when he decided to cover his face up with a paper bag at the Berlin Film Festival.

In her latest movie “Tammy,” Melissa plays the role of a woman who comes into some hardship after she's been fired from her job and has learnt that her husband has been cheating on her.

She then proceeds to take off on a road trip with her alcoholic grandmother, which is played by Susan Sarandon, and basically engage in all sorts of crazy things, which also include robbing a fast food restaurant.

Cue the scene from the trailer, which begins with Melissa stepping out of her car to the music of Coolio's “Gangsta's Paradise” and robbing the fast food joint with just a paper bag on her head and a gun made out of another paper bag concealed in, what else, yet another paper bag.

The scene is laugh-out-loud funny, as the clumsy Tammy tries to get over the counter or to block the door to the cooler where she's left the employees hostage with a wooden spoon.

The film is directed by Ben Falcone, who has previously worked with McCarthy on the buddy cop comedy “The Heat.” “Tammy” is due out for release on July 4 in the United States.
