Watch Life of the Party For Free

Great Film overall

Best movie ever!

Absolutely Fantastic

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There's just not much movie in this movie. Lots of the dialogue feels improvised. I'll always give Melissa McCarthy the benefit of the doubt, but a casual fan may want to skip this one.

The "writers" on this "comedy" must have been on something when they created this abomination. Somehow they managed to make me despise otherwise talented actors through their sloppy, unfunny, and boring script. Save yourself some time and avoid this turd at all costs.

Life of the Party (2.5 out of 5 stars).Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone tackle on another comedy film after their last two lacklusters of Tammy and The Boss film. Life of the Party is no different than McCarthy's previous comedy films. Yes, she is a likable actress. But her humor gets old very fast when it is nothing but insults towards others. And the movie itself has nothing else to show for it. The plot follows Deanna (Melissa McCarthy) and her husband Dan (Matt Walsh) dropping their daughter Maddie (Molly Gordon) off at a university. Deanna upset and sad her baby girl is all grown up. But also gets the unexpected news that her husband wants a divorce. Once home, Deanna tries to move on by burning all his stuff and realizes that she dropped out of college just cause her husband told her too. She decides to enroll back to the university that her daughter is going too. So she can finally finish school.The plot is predictable. From the opening scene with her distant husband that has a look that he is bored with their marriage. And Deanna visiting her daughter in college which her daughter friends are more excited to have her mother there. With Deanna visiting Maddy and her friends at their frat house. With her friends all having personal issues of their own which Deanna tries to fix. And Deanna and a frat boy getting frisky every time they see each other after their one night stand at a party. Deanna is living the party life that she once missed out when she was young. The film does get boring when all the jokes are running dry. Melissa McCarthy can go so far with the humor before her jokes are all the same. It gets dull and tedious. If you seen Tammy or The Boss, this movie is basically the same with the comedic level. Were McCarthy pokes jokes at herself and others. Always being a loud mouth in public. But when she is in front of the classroom, she gets stage fright and has an anxiety? But she is okay with being on stage at a frat party. The humor can be overdone and laughs get very few in between. Sure, Maddy's friends seem to be weird and awkward and can bring in a few laughs. Or an awkward dinner at a restaurant when Deanna runs into her boy toy as he is the waiter. And her ex husband and his new girlfriend conveniently being there. Overall, Life of the Party is a bad film. Melissa McCarthy is a sweet comedic actress. But her latest work is becoming repetitive with her humor. And this film is definitely a miss when it is becoming tedious.

Are you ever frustrated whilst watching a movie at a cinema because you can't just press "pause" to go to the toilet or do something else without missing anything? Well this movie definitely won't give you that sense of frustration - no matter how much of it you miss, you'll still feel like you've watched too much of it.I'm thinking maybe Falcone owed someone a massive favour, but if I was in his position I'd have chosen cement shoes over creating this train-wreck.McCarthy was never really much of an actress - never really much of anything, really - and she doesn't disappoint with her appearance in this flick. Think Roseanne Barr without the appeal (now that's really saying something!).With writing that wouldn't earn a pass mark in primary school and acting that would evoke eggs and tomatoes if it was performed in public, you'll be gnashing your teeth in no time at all.
