For once a (mostly) positive movie about separation and divorce?   Melissa McCarthy's character goes on a massive journey as she learns of the divorce, goes back to college and learns how to thrive.  I enjoy this for the 80s music and the empowerment.  There are questionable choices and as a family mediator, involving her daughter in the post-separation conflict and the extreme revenge fantasy are not constructive. However as a depiction of someone who thinks that life is over and then decides to reclaim her own power - great choice.  

The mediation scene is brief and problematic.  This is the worst movie mediation scene I could find. The mediator isn't even in the room for most of it! 

Listen in to find out why this is not the way to do mediation.
