Joy
The Home Shopping Network works exactly like online shopping, except quantities are limited and time is running out.
Two things the aspiring inventor in this dramedy knows all too well.
Determined to bring her removable mop-head to market, single mother Joy Mangano (Jennifer Lawrence) convinces a QVC bigwig (Bradley Cooper) to allow her the rare opportunity to host her own segment, which eventually brings in sales.
But a shifty manufacturer recommended by her deadbeat dad's (Robert De Niro) girlfriend (Isabella Rossellini) could put an end to all of her success, her supply and her patent.
Based on the semi-motivational true story, Joy's ensemble cast and offbeat direction offers the only entertainment in this breezy biography. Whereas the plodding script only services those high- points as it lurches towards its inspiring yet manipulated ending.
Maybe next time they could focus on a real QVC superstar, like, the inventor of porcelain clown figurines.
