Joy: not so bad.

Rating: 7/10 (14 February 2016)

Business has its charm. Even Goethe wasn't immune and celebrated it in his 'Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship' describing this young man who wants to become an actor and nonetheless loses himself in the beauty of the Double-entry Bookkeeping system, every time he has to perform it.
And the present film is not bad: it's not boring, not badly acted (how could it possibly be), edited or directed. It's not significantly different from thousands of other releases of the same genre. Even the moral message is the same.
So it's not original. And I am not a big fan of David Russel either (among his films I really liked only 'Three Kings', 1999). Nonetheless I had a pleasant hour and a half watching.
