This movie will also serve as a belated Mother’s Day celebration as it follows a newly divorced mother Deanna Miles who returns to college to complete her degree, only to end up enrolled in her daughter’s classes. The daughter, as expected is not comfortable with the idea of going to college with her mother. The mother however plunges headlong into the campus experience and embraces freedom, fun and the frat boys on her own terms and finds her true self in a senior year no one ever expected.

In line with the Life of the party movie and to add onto the fun, Ster Kinekor has advised all those attending to dress like school or college girls.

This will definitely make the outing more interesting as the ladies will grab the limelight when they walk up to the movie house at the Bulawayo Centre clad in uniforms headed to the red carpet. What will be more fun is the fact that from the movie house, the ladies will go for an after-party, often at Red Café still in the uniforms and it will likely be some crazy night.
