Some Joy

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2016)

I was looking forward movie - and with all the pre-release hype - I thought I would 100% like it. Well not so. the character development of her family left them as looking like squatters in her home (I think it was her home) - the mother, father, ex-husband. To me they had little redeeming characteristics, and with the strength of Joy - I got frustrated with her keeping them there. She was used by all of them. Possibly this is a New Jersey thing - but it bugged me. Joy had a great idea - got in over her head initially and learned so much as she grew as a business woman. The movie, in the beginning states that this is for women who are -- I forget - those who are trying to make a go of it?? So this is an OK movie - not great - and if you really want to see it - Redbox it. My only disappointment in Dec. was this movie.
