We go to the movies every week for date night, but I will be making a special trip Mother’s Day weekend. I can’t to see New Line Cinema’s comedy “Life of the Party” which stars Melissa McCarthy under the direction of her husband Ben Falcone. Just a few weeks ago I realized they have starred in quite a few movies together. I had no idea!

When her husband suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into re-set by going back to college…landing 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 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 (“Don’t Think Twice,” “Love,” “Community”), Maya Rudolph (“Bridesmaids,” “Sisters”), Julie Bowen (“Modern Family”), Matt Walsh (“Veep,” “Ghostbusters”), Molly Gordon (“Love the Coopers,” “Animal Kingdom”), with Stephen Root (“Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates”), and Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver (“Silver Linings Playbook,” “Animal Kingdom”), Jessie Ennis (“Better Call Saul”), Adria Arjona (“True Detective,” “Emerald City”), Debby Ryan (“Jessie”) and Jimmy O. Yang (“Silicon Valley”).

McCarthy and Falcone co-wrote the screenplay and produced through their production company, On the Day. Chris Henchy also produced the film, with Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener, Michael Disco and David Siegel serving as executive producers.

My oldest daughters are 24 and 20. I have mentioned a few times how if I had the money, I would go back to school. I was so close to signing myself up when I took my daughter up to our local college for a tour and some testing. We actually talked about how funny it would be if we ended up in the same classes. Of course it wouldn’t bother me, but they said they definitely need their space!

Be sure to check out Life of the Party with your Mom on May 11th. It looks like it is going to being pretty funny plus you get to make your Mom happy by spending some time with her.
