Guide: That's Life
Synopsis:
That's Life is a drama about Lydia DeLucca (Heather Paige
Kent), a thirtysomething New Jersey woman who turns her life upside
down when she ditches the blue-collar guy she is about to marry
and decides instead to go back to college.
When Lydia
enrolls as a freshman at nearby Montclair University, her mother,
Dolly (Ellen Burstyn), fears that her choice will result in a
lifetime of loneliness, while her father, Frank (Paul Sorvino),
thinks she should take a computer class so she can be a viable
candidate for the secretary pool. Meanwhile, her police officer
brother, Paul (Kevin Dillon), continues to get under her skin,
just as he did when they were kids.
Her friends,
Jackie (Debi Mazar), a smart-mouth hairstylist, and Candy (Kristin
Bauer), a 1988 Miss New Jersey who is still fixated on that once-coveted
title, lend their support to Lydia even though they think she
is making a big mistake.
Although she
feels like a fish out of water, competing with students who are
often smarter bookwise than she is, Lydia is determined to make
her mark on campus.
