hour 45 minutes
Starring:
Melissa McCarthy, Matt Walsh
I
used to like Melissa McCarthy alright, but it seems like I’ve enjoyed watching
her less and less with each movie she’s been in. But then I still watch her movies, hoping
they’ll get better. With this one, I’m
glad I gave it a shot! She plays a woman
whose husband decides he wants a divorce after a long marriage and she’s left
wondering what to do. Instead of her
life being “over,” she decides to go back to college and get her degree – at
the same college her daughter is attending.
I was glad it wasn’t just her acting stupid trying to get laughs and
embarrassing her daughter over and over the whole movie. Her daughter and her friends actually
realized how much she knew about “life” and accepted her as one of their own,
allowing her to relive her college days a little. It wasn’t very serious, wasn’t the funniest
movie, and wasn’t very realistic, but it all made for a nice story. I hope McCarthy stays on this path, rather
than just over-the-top stupidity like she’d been doing.
