Joy The Movie, A Joy To Enjoy – 2015

20th Century Fox Still and Poster #Joy Movie

Saw Joy, The Movie, last night, a Private Screening at AMC Lincoln Square. Thank you BB. Jennifer Lawrence and the movie were a joy to enjoy. I wasn’t expecting to, but I sat there loving most of it, every minute. The first half, more of a comedy, was especially wonderful. The story centers around Joy Mangano, and covers four generations of her life, struggles, storms and strife and how she invented and marketed the Miracle Mop. Who knew?

The 20th Century Fox movie, directed by Silver Lining and American Hustle director, David O.
