Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

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.

Jitendra Kotai Joy is the story of a strong woman that fights against all odds and wins. The success story of an underdog has been done to death. Joy works because it is a real story and it works because it has Jennifer Lawrence in it. It is the story of a woman that believes in her dream and does everything she can to make it possible. Joy inspires people to follow their dream. Her story helps those people who are slightly scared to take a leap. She comes across as identifiable. Jennifer Lawrence does a great job as a common woman and she looks gorgeous.

Dan Franzen (dfranzen70) Jennifer Lawrence plays Joy, a beleaguered housewife/TSA agent who invents a self-wringing mop and successfully promotes it on the newly hatched QVC network. This success is despite the relentless stress of having divorced/estranged parents, an ex-husband, two children, and her grandmother all living under her roof and each with his or her own selfish peculiarities. Well, maybe not kindly grandma, who narrates the story.See, first there's dad Rudy (Robert DeNiro), who's just been kicked out of his current wife's (or girlfriend's, not sure) house – "I'm done with him – you can have him back" – and who owns and operates a repair shop that happens to have a gun range. Rudy's the sort of guy who rubs just about everyone the wrong way, but of course Joy puts up with his shenanigans. Then there's mom Terry (an unrecognizable Virginia Madsen), who spends almost all of her time in her room watching her stories and flushing her hair down the toilet, which inevitably clogs. There's passionate ex Tony (Edgar Ramirez), who has a good heart if a lack of direction and who lives in the basement. And there's grandmother Mimi (Diane Ladd), who seems to be the only sensible, nurturing person in the house. There's also Joy's half-sister Peggy (Elisabeth Rohm), who doesn't live on the premises but may as well – and she herself has sort of a passive-aggressive love-hate relationship with the ironically named Joy.Aggravating family aside, Joy – a longtime lover of creating things – stumbles upon the need for the aforementioned mop. Up until then, mop heads were permanently attached to the mop handle and couldn't be cleaned without the user touching the nasty thing. Joy discovers that winding a single strand of wool hundreds of times around a base, the mop head not only becomes more absorbent it also becomes easily detached. One can put it in the washing machine! One won't need to buy a new mop every few months! This discovery leads to much success and with it the downsides of running a business – particularly when the business involves your quirky family as well as Dad's new girlfriend, Trudy (Isabella Rossellini), who invests heavily in Joy's venture. Lot of people to please. Lot of potential for things to go wrong, too, when one is a novice in the world of business.(I don't even want to get into Bradley Cooper's character, the head of programming at QVC. Cooper is a little too subtle in his role, almost the point of invisibility. Talk about underwhelming.) Okay, enough plot exposition. Lawrence is winning as always and, in fact, elevates her character with more sincerity and moxie than the script allows. But she's about the only actor who does a lot with flimsy material. DeNiro's character is overbearing and obnoxious; Rossellini's even more so. Joy's rotten half-sister comes off as devious, resentful, and despicable, but prior to Joy's success there was no hint of acrimony. I get it, she's jealous of the success, but there's nothing to back up the attitude. Those characters all feel like they should be in a much broader film, not a character study. In other words, the tone adopted by them is at odds with that adopted by Joy; the two types clash, rather than contrast.Joy is a sufficiently entertaining movie, and it's almost entirely due to Lawrence's strong performance. Director David O. Russell, who also co-wrote the script, has done better.

Fallen Eye "...it is equally possible that she is a fatally flawed underachiever, doomed to a lifetime of failure, disappointment, unfulfilled expectations".I get why this movie has a 60% rating from audience and critics alike, however, something too great to ignore resonated with me, amid the film's irregularities and foolishness. Lines like the one above, in conjunction with it's somewhat uncommon approach, somehow melded well with me, and spoke to me.Yeah sure, there are things in this movie that just have you questioning, how or why; like Todd's mistake on live television. Why and how do you go on live television to sell a product you aren't as familiar with as you should be, then as a professional TV personality, handle that situation so appallingly? Trudy, poor, poor Trudy. It was just supposed to be a date with the old man. However, within all these "whys", I felt myself also asking; Why not?!Perhaps if this film wasn't based on true events, it would seem a bit too far fetched and disingenuous, but it was. True, being a bio is no licence to warp reality, but personally, I feel Joy captured enough actual real life realism and chaos, while not losing sight of the entertainment factor, and still remaining adequately inspirational enough, to warrant at least a messy 7.8/10...But, that is what the mop was made for; to absorb the mess, and expose the cleanliness buried underneath. Joy's life was a mess, so she mopped the floor clean with competition.
