If the sparkling arc from sad acoustic guitars to Christina Aguilera anthems has any serious intention, McCarthy and Falcone want to salute the wonders women can accomplish when they band together. Full review It is curious to see a comedy so timid, so reluctant to risk hurt feelings or complicated situations. Full review McCarthy remains the life of the party, but this is not a party you'll want to attend.Variety

Stuff
Amongst the lectern-based humour, repeated shots to the crotch and strange sexualisation of the Harry Potter books, it all feels like a project that even Adam Sandler might have thought twice about.

It's a diverting vehicle for a solid comedy star, and if you feel like it might be for you, you probably won't be disappointed.

Los Angeles Times
"Life of the Party" indulges our collective hope that mistakes can be mended, we're never too old for redemption and, given the chance, we could still slay in a frat house dance-off if the DJ played the right song.

Associated Press
Do laundry. Clean the fish tank. Re-grout the bathroom. What do these things have in common? They are much better ways to spend your time than sitting through Melissa McCarthy's uninspired and forced Life of the Party.
