luke benward will temporarily fill the position of young jake gyllenhaal until we have the technology to send me back in time to fuck the real one

christina aguilera has a cameo in this. and that really sums it up

ugh the melissa mccarthy cinematic universe never disappoints! she will defeat thanos

not to be predictable here on letterboxd dot com but gillian jacobs' character was a lesbian and here's my proof:
-bad at math
-has a jumper that says "alcohol you later", proving that she is 1) a fan of puns and 2) a fan of alcohol, both tenets of gay culture
-would be cute with melissa mccarthy's goth roommate
-often looks bemused by str8 people's antics

I had to watch my step when I walked out of the theatre because there were wigs scattered everywhere. There's a plot twist that no one saw coming and the entire audience (including myself) screamed!!!!! I was pleasantly surpised by how genuine and funny the film was, but watching Melissa McCarthy is always a delight.

So the big joke of this movie is that Melissa McCarthy is too old to be in college but that joke falls flat when literally everyone in the movie looks too old to be in college.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

-The kid from How to Eat Fried Worms made me uncomfortable but also rocked my damn world.

-also Maya Rudolph if you’re reading this I just want you to know I personally support you in anything that you choose to pursue, ever and under any circumstance. Ok that’s all, love you Maya xoxo

I didn’t realize Disney was making a live action remake of An Extremely Goofy Movie.

give an oscar to gillian jacobs/maya rudolph

My mom and I agree that this should've just been Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy hanging out for 100 minutes.

Life of the Party is a passable mashup of familiar cliches. It's great in moments, but flat overall. None of the highs of college life are depicted as being all that exciting, which may be relatable in my experience, but boring in the case of the movie. The characters were all pretty one-note, and I couldn't even identify what that note was for some of them. While it's definitely not as funny as I hoped it would be, I'll always enjoy watching characters form new friendships and support each other. It feels wholesome.

Rating: 46/100

God, I love women...

Yeah, it was honestly better than I thought it would be. I laughed quite a bit more than expected. There was a scene that got me, and the folks I watched this with, laughing for a solid minute or two, straight.

I need more Maya Rudolf and Gillian Jacobs in my life, and less Debby Ryan... god, what the hell is she doing in this?

Also, just an observation, but there were a few 180 breaks between cuts that just stick out. I mean, I know this isn't a film that should be considered as a high standard in filmmaking, but come on... get your shit together filmmakers.

But other than that (and some cheesy ass moments), it's a good time, if you're looking for it.

Perfect for Mother's Day... or just something to watch with your mom.

Normally, Melissa McCarthy really cracks me up in her movies at least once but that just didn’t happen this time. 

Also, the fact that she was having sex with a college student made me feel weird, like that would never happen & the fact it was the guy from “How to Eat Fried Worms” was worse - like he is only one year old then me?! Ew.

Loved the relationship mother-daughter and the fact that the roles were sometimes reversed and the daughter was more responsbile than her mother. Christina Aguilera's cameo was unexpected, but appreciated.

Back to School...this is not

Women

radicalmente pateta fez melhor

lmao whoever wrote this script has never had an interaction with a real life mother-daughter duo in their lives

Funny, but nothing special

it was funny

melissa mccarthy always brings her a-game and this has a few laughs but it’s overall a dud.

why was debby ryan such a bitch

Wow! I need that positive vibes! Mellisa McCarthy emang paling cocok main peran ini.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was a feel good movie with some genuine laughs. There is nothing new here but that doesn't make it a bad movie. Sometimes you just want a movie to entertain you and I believe this movie fits the bill perfectly. Also it helps that I would watch Maya Rudolph read a cereal box and find it amazing.
