Even Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper can’t save this bland film…

Though it may not feature over-the-top dramatic scenes or a ‘cha-ching’ moment, the film is honest, simple and uplifting. Don’t miss this one!

The joy in this 124-minute drama comes from watching the fabulously chosen cast play off each other. Joy shares with Russell’s previous feature, American Hustle, a loose and improvisational quality and a light-headed and slightly manic approach to storytelling.
