Melissa McCarthy Goes to College in Life of the Party Trailer

by Dana Abercrombie1

The trailer for the upcoming Melissa McCarthy comedy, Life of the Party has released.

Directed by Ben Falcone, Life of the Party focuses on longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) who turns regret into re-set by going back to college after her husband suddenly dumps her.

Deanna lands in the same class and school as her daughter, who’s not entirely sold on the idea. Plunging headlong into the campus experience, the increasingly outspoken Deanna–now going by Dee Rock–embraces freedom, fun and frat boys on her own terms, finding her true self in a senior year no one ever expected.

The film also stars Gillian Jacobs, Maya Rudolph, Julie Bowen, Matt Walsh, Molly Gordon, with Stephen Root, and Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver, as well as Jessie Ennis, Adria Arjona, Debby Ryan and Jimmy O. Yang.

Life of the Party is slated for release on May 11, 2018.

Check out the trailer above.

Former genius and a woman of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by her mystery, Dana Abercrombie has been watching movies since birth (yes birth...we did say "genius"). Despite her secret desire of wanting to give it all up to become a gorgeous billionaire, Dana is most passionate politics about movies often times getting in many heated debates resulting in being thrown out of many gatherings. Despite having a degree in English AND Journalism (multi-tasking FTW!) from the University at Albany-SUNY, she is currently interested in perusing a degree at Yale Law School, because one should never give up on a dream of becoming a gorgeous billionaire...and knowing how to sue someone as a result of those heated debates.
