A stupid film about stupid characters targeted to a stupid audience

Rating: 1/10 (26 November 2016)

This is awful, one of the worst films ever made. A cast of fine actors totally wasted on a terrible script, so superficial and full of clichés that it makes Disney's classic animation films seem profound and full of nuances by comparison.
Joy is such an unbelievably clichéd character that it hurts... The writer/director took every feminist stereotype he could find and threw them in the film. It is such a caricature that it is painful, even the most feminists of feminists would cringe at the blunt way characters are displayed: everybody in the film is incredibly stupid, except Joy, who suddenly in the last five minutes turns everything that has gone wrong with her for two hours into a miracle of righteousness. She is the absolute heroine who suddenly makes everything right, just because she has the guts to face up to the evil men in her life (just about all of them), and that is all it takes.
Really, this picture is not recommended for anyone with a mental age above eight years old. I am disappointed to see that it got any nominations for awards.
