Almost put me to sleep... Zzzz

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 2016)

Normally a huge fan of Jennifer Lawrence, but have to say I was disappointed with this. The movie based around Joys invention of a self wringing mop, and the story is literally revolved around this invention from beginning to end. I had hoped for a bit of romance at the end with Bradley coopers character but that didn't happen. Just seems like a simple story was dragged out for longer than needed, and the story was somewhat boring. I found myself drifting to sleep a couple of times.
Such a shame as I normally cannot fault movies Jennifer is in. It was pretty much the typical 'american dream' of someone wanting to succeed at something so much they put everything on the line and lose everything. and then of course Joy turns it all around and comes out on top in the end. Very cliché and predictable.
Very disappointed, expected something a bit more interesting to watch.
