Joy

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

Director/writer David O. Russell reunites Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, & Bradley Cooper in the inspirational story of Joy Mangano, inventor of the Miracle Mop. This film is not a straight biopic but told in fairy tale book style, based on 50% true facts & 50% reconstructed entertainment value. Lawrence shines as the strong, independent, intelligent woman who even as a small child had great dreams & imagination. She dominates the film while De Niro & Cooper have much lesser supporting roles. See how Joy's best friend, her ex, & family influence her amazing journey. This patent informational & inside look at QVC is a wild roller coaster ride of emotions tempered with a unique sense of humor which includes a quirky soap opera tribute with some surprising cameos. Virginia Madsen, Diane Ladd, & Isabella Rossellini provide a good supporting cast. 

Alien gives it 3 "adversaries in commerce" stars out of 4.
