Life Of The Party
Cert: 12A / 105 mins / Dir. Ben Falcone / Trailer
Without a strong cast to share the comedic spotlight, or a 15 certificate to gamely soak up her trademark punctuative profanity masquerading as witty improvisation, all that's left in Life Of The Party is for Melissa McCarthy to repeat any scene's 'keyword' four times or do the 'fat person falls over' schtick. Four times.
Less enjoyable than I Feel Pretty, even though that film has far more pressing problems.
The worst part is the feeling that schedulers and distributors assume that if you're not into superhero movies, this is what you'll want instead.
We get the studio-comedy we deserve.
This is like some horrible hybrid of The Internship, Bad Neighbours and Paul Blart.
No.
No.
No.
If pushed.
No.
Level 2: Gillian Jacobs is in this, and she was in that Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World with Keira 'Sabé' Knightley.
