sergelamarche Jennifer is sooo good looking. She gets to look a bit gritty, determined and kick ass also here. She's like this beautiful, sweet thing we don't take too seriously that then grabs you by surprise. The film is lightly made, hilarious at times, on a dramatic theme that goes up and down more and more until the climax. I loved it in spite of the bubble gum treatment.
AudreyToo Oh christ this film is boring. About 30 minutes in I asked my partner when was anything going to start happening and he responded with 'I don't think it is one of those films where anything really does happen'. And he was pretty much right.Firstly, this film is about a lady who invents a new type of mop. I didn't know this before I started watching but I'm quite sure that if I had known this fact I wouldn't of bothered watching it. Let me repeat that - this film centers around the invention of a new type of mop. Yes. A mop. A mop for cleaning floors. If you like rather mundane cliched films about mops then you will love this. In the film's defense, Jennifer Lawrence was fantastic, as was De Niro (obvs) but the story simply wasn't interesting or exciting enough for such a long film - it reminded me of one of those afternoon movies on Channel 5 (UK). This film kind of reminded me of another recent film (also staring De Niro) - The Intern - which, although it wasn't an amazing film, it definitely brought me more joy than 'Joy' did.I try to find something positive in everything, even if I don't like it, so I'll give a special mention to the costume designers. I liked the costumes. There you go. That was the joy I took from this film. Pretty dresses.
sasoulini In general Joy was a good movie but not for those who love action and plot twists.The movie is all about fulfilling dreams and ambitions and gives the idea that we should never get disappointed because in the end there is always a solution. Another important message that can be drawn from this movie is that we can always attain our goals any time we want it.Its all a matter of decision, self- commitment and devotion.It seems after all that everything even happiness is in our minds. It is a movie that will fill you with positive feelings and optimism but still the plot was somehow predictable.
Bill040689 The life story of the self-wringing-mop inventor. A story of a cool headed woman kept doing what she could in her messy life and messy family and beyond. I was broken hearted (seriously that bad) 4 times in watching this movie once. When u are really almost there and the world wards you, crushes you, grinds you, pulling you down hard..... The grandmother, oh I love her so much! She never lost, never stopped her faith on this granddaughter (not everyone has this kind of person in his/ her life I think). She just knew it, that this one girl would nail it someday, and be the family savior. And the best friend, oh! I love her so much too! Only a true best friend can really know how to help you like she did to the main character here!! And this tough movie is presented prettily. So blessed. IMDb rate of this today 28-Jun-2017 is 6.6, my rate is 9.9.
