Good movie but the story was lacking

Rating: 5/10 (23 July 2016)

Joy is a 2015 drama based on a true story directed by David O Russell and stars Bradley Cooper,Robert De Niro and Jennifer Lawrence(all three of these actors worked in the 2012 flick Silver Lining's Playbook)and the story is about a young woman named Joy(Lawrence)who sets up a manufacturing factory where she creates these mops where you can take the top part off and put it in a washing machine. She deals with a divorce,being a single mother,having her madcap father (played by De Niro)who is staying with her and her ex husband who is now her friend)don't ask)and Joy goes to different companies so that she can try and sell her mop and get an earning.She meets a man named Neil Walker(Bradley Cooper)who helps her out to sell these mops she created. So will she become a household name after this?
Overall this film was pretty decent,its not as good as Silver Lining's Playbook as the story felt more better,here the story just dragged and dragged and dragged and I said to myself what is this film about I can't make head or tails of what this premise is about. The acting was good though Jennifer is a pretty decent actress,she's no Julie Andrews or Kate Winslet but she did a pretty good job here.
If you are a fan of Lawrence's then check it out,for me it was an OK movie. Not one to watch a billion times again though.

Not bad but not that great. Watch Silver Lining's Playbook instead.
