GIVE LIFE THE OLD COLLEGE TRY.

When her husband announces that he wants a divorce, Deanna Miles (Melissa McCarthy) decides to go back to college, becoming her daughter’s (Molly Gordon) classmate…  Another collaboration between McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone that never takes off. This one wants to be a nice, positive comedy about a middle-aged woman finding herself. Lots of predictable jokes about age differences. Enthusiastically performed by McCarthy, but rarely funny and there’s no real conflict; the film often feels aimless.
