Did I just watch a movie about the miracle mop?

Rating: 3/10 (31 December 2015)

One of the things that kept coming to mind as I was watching was how awkward it was. Zero chemistry. And also the Lawrence/cooper/deniro thing isn't *that* good to make three movies about it. The characters were awful. One thing that also bugs me is horrible child actors. She kept blinking a lot? And Jennifer Lawrence is just too young to come across as being a mother. She is beautiful I do have to admit. Deniros weird temper tantrum was awkward. Jlaws first time on qvc was awkward to watch. Every time there was supposed to be a joke, I didn't realize it until a second later. Like oh I was supposed to laugh at that. The people that did catch on gave weak giggles. And from what David o Russell had implied, I was thinking it will focus a lot on Joy and not about the fact she created miracle mop. I was wrong. It was all about the miracle mop. I felt kind of embarrassed when I realized that. It was a lot of Russel trying to get *cool* shots of jlaw looking like a badass and putting on sunglasses *twice.* He also tries to be like Tarantino and pick cool songs and that just completely flopped. It felt really rushed and It didn't have time to convey emotional ties between characters. Bradley cooper was in it like three times. It's a movie about qvc and the miracle mop. Oh and please don't get me started about the fact that Melissa Rivers decided to play her dead mother?? Am I missing something? I thought that was weird and just kind of wrong. It just fell flat for me. I hope this was the last movie of these four together. I also feel that Russell will make a movie purely for the cool trailer. The trailer was definitely cooler than the movie.
