BLU-RAY REVIEW — “Life of the Party”

Pack your bags and head back to college with Melissa McCarthy! “Life of the Party” is now available on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

When her husband suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into reset 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.
