Life of the Party

For housewife Deanna Miles (Melissa McCarthy), the good news was that her daughter Jennifer (Debby Ryan) was heading into her senior year of college. The bad, however, was that she just got callously dumped by her cheating husband (Matt Walsh). Her response was to return to school-alongside a dumbstruck Jen-and finish her degree, and her fitful reacclimation to campus life makes for a full syllabus of laughs. Gillian Jacobs, Maya Rudolph, Julie Bowen, Stephen Root, Jacki Weaver also star.
