I don't need a prince

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2017)

This is a film inspired by the life of Joy Mangano (Jennifer Lawrence). It is narrated by her grandmother (Diane Ladd) who always had high hopes for her. Joy had dreams and was very creative, but life happened. Like the cicada she reads about, her life took a 17 year hiatus. Her younger self gives Joy an epiphany in a dream. She was going to create. With the help of her family/friends/extended family/near family, for better or worse, she embarked on manufacturing and making the miracle mop and all the trials and tribulations to get it to market.
The success of her career is told as an addendum. An academy award winning cast took a simple life story and made it exciting...as well as the added Hollywood dramatization.
Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Spoiler: Jennifer Lawrence and Bradly Cooper do not play lovers in this film.
