Review of Life of the Party (2018) by Michael Phillips for Chicago Tribune — 09 May 2018
The movie’s not as slapstick-dependent as advertised. It’s a less coarse and more heartfelt project than McCarthy’s disappointing headliner gigs, such as “Tammy” and “The Boss.” (The Paul Feig-directed comedies “Bridesmaids,” “The Heat” and “Spy” are far better.
) The new movie renders matters of directorial finesse and comic technique essentially irrelevant.
