Life of the Party
Comedy105 min
After her husband abruptly leaves, Melissa McCarthy is Deanna, a longtime housewife who heads back to college to finish the degree she never completed — and lands at the same school as her daughter. Molly Gordon’s less-than-thrilled college senior suddenly has to share classes, parties, and campus life with her mother, who starts reinventing herself as “Dee Rock.” As Deanna throws herself into dorm-room friendships, frat parties, and a second shot at student life, her daughter has to navigate senior year with her mom suddenly in the middle of it.
