Melissa McCarthy's new movie is taking a page from Rodney Dangerfield's comedy playbook by sending her back to school. Life Of The Party places McCarthy at a crossroads in life, her husband left her and her daughter is now at college. While she has regrets about being a mother, she does have a few regrets about never finishing school. So she enrolls in college, the very same college her daughter is currently at. After a makeover, and some confidence earned McCarthy becomes - you guessed it - the life of the party. The movie comes out on Friday, May 11th and also features Maya Rudolph, Gillian Jacobs, Julie Bowen, Matt Walsh, Stephen Root, and Jacki Weaver.
