Jennifer (Debby Ryan) is a minor antagonist in the 2018 comedy film "Life of the Party".
Jennifer is a snobby college girl at Decatur University, who bullies Deanna Miles (Melissa McCarthy) throughout the film.
She is first seen sitting in front of Deanna and her sorority sister Helen (Gillian Jeacobs) in an archeolgy class lecture hall. Jennifer drops her pencil, and Deanna picks it up for her. Deanna makes a back handed compliment of her sweater, and then along with Jennifer's friend Trina (Yani Simone), they call Deanna ancient in age. With this comment, Helen has had enough, and takes her scissors out of her backpack and cuts a chunck out of Jennifer's hair.
Jennifer is next seen at a party along with Trina. They come up to Deanna, and put down her hairdo and her mama boobs.
At the next party, Jennifer is dressed as a Jane Fonda clone with brightly colored workout leotard. Jennifer asks Jack Strong to fix her a drink, and he tells her the keg is out back. Deanna walks past Jennifer and tells her she loves what is left of her top, in reference to the scantily clad outfit that she is barely wearing.
The dance is an 80's party theme, and Deanna and Jennifer have a dance off in front of the entire party. Deanna embarrasses Jennifer, and as a result the bully walks out of the party humbled.
Jennifer shows up at a party that the sorority puts on for Deanna so she can raise tuition money to stay in college. They fraudulently advertised that singer Christina Aguilear was going to show up and perform at the party to drum up attendance. Jennifer threatens Helen that if Christina Aguilera doesn't show up in the next 10 minutes she will put her back in a coma (which she had spent 8 previous years in). Helen knees Jennifer in the crotch and the two have a knock down drag em out fight. Deanna interferes to try to break it up, and Jennifer lands a punch intended for Helen in Deanna's boobs. Jennifer feels rotten, and it appears that Deanna convinces Jennifer and Helen to bury the hatchet.
The only other time that Jennifer appears in the film is when Deanna is presenting her oral assignment in front of the class.
