The movie revolves around an ambitious woman who lately separated from her husband. Then she starts to think about the future. She decided to return to her university in attempt to continue her degree. There, she makes new friends and gets back to her young.
It's a generic comedy that you've seen a million times...it's just not a good movie, and there are some things that work as far as comedy goes, but it's a rental as best.
No matter how outrageous the circumstances get, McCarthy always works best when her natural love and goodwill leads the way. She's a comedic mama bear at heart.
The story is inconsistent from one scene to the next -sometimes from one shot to the next - with nearly every scene looking desperately improvised, falling flat, and left in for the sake of filling out the running time.
Life of the Party is proof that even the funniest actors need good material, which makes it all the more disappointing that McCarthy wrote the script with director Ben Falcone, who is also her husband.
Melissa McCarthy is comedy royalty - it's a scientific fact, look it up - but even the Bridesmaids star can't keep this mom-goes-to-college fluffball from flatlining.
Falcone and McCarthy seem so concerned with delivering on their audience's pratfall assumptions that they never allow McCarthy to expand her capabilities in any meaningful way.
