Joy Mangano has always been fascinated by creating things, This pursuit was always supported emotionally by her maternal grandmother, Mimi. Joy feels that lack of practical support has led to others making fortunes on ideas she came up with years ago but could not act upon manufacturing. Despite being broke, Joy is the person in her extended family to whom everyone has always turned, in the process forgoing her own life, including not having attended college to help see her parents through their divorce. She works in an unsatisfying job as an Eastern Airlines ticket clerk; and lives with her mother Terry who spends all day in bed watching soap operas; her ex-husband Tony, a less than successful aspiring Latino Tom Jones wannabe; and their two children. Added to this mix is her father Rudy, the owner of a failing heavy-duty garage, which is managed by Joy's older half-sister Peggy, with whom she has somewhat of a strained relationship, and for which Joy does the books. Sharon, Rudy's latest girlfriend who has just dumped him, drops him off on Joy's doorstep, making Joy's home life even more complicated as Rudy does not get along with either Terry or Tony. Joy begins to feel buried by her life, in the process her childhood dream of making things seemingly getting farther and farther away. As such, Joy decides to make some changes in her life, and expects the unquestioning practical support of her family. Those changes include manufacturing a new product of her design; what she chooses this time around being a self-wringing mop. That support also includes being able to pitch the idea to Rudy's current wealthy girlfriend, Trudy. Even if she does get to the manufacturing stage, Joy will have to battle the narrow minds of business executives in marketing her product, that is unless she can find a way to get into the homes of the American public in one fell swoop. But nothing is a done deal until the consumer forks out his/her hard earned money for the product and all the legal issues are dealt with. Joy has to decide if she will "pick up the gun" as Trudy asked in their initial investment meeting in dealing with an especially troublesome legal issue.

| EspinofMikel ZorrillaJennifer Lawrence isn't enoguh to save this movie. [Full review in Spanish] |
| The TelegraphRobbie CollinSince Joy is a David O. Russell film, the presence of a) Lawrence and b) bizarre, fizz-popping explosions of catharsis are to be expected. But the ringmaster of The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle seems to have mellowed a little, which means fewer outright belly laughs, but a more layered and involving emotional landscape. |
| Deadline Hollywood DailyPete HammondJennifer Lawrence proves a mop can be just as empowering as a bow and arrow in David O. Russell's ode to smart and determined women everywhere who have a dream. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterRussell lays it on pretty thick with Joy's quirky, suffocating family but Lawrence creates the kind of plucky underdog you are only too happy to cheer and Joy is a feelgood way to start the year. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineAfter Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, mercurial filmmaker David O. Russell reunites with Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro for an offbeat biopic about the woman who invented the Miracle Mop. |
| SensacineSuso AiraA competing product, well done, which works with the ability to feel empathy for it and for his director. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Urban CinefileLouise KellerAnother great turn by Jennifer Lawrence but a bit like sex when it fails to live up to expectations, the film leaves us feeling disappointed. |
| AwardsWatchErik AndersonThe screwball comedy nature of this setup harks back to Russell's best film, Flirting with Disaster. After a trio of Oscar-friendly and decidedly more mainstream efforts, this is a welcome return to form. |
| The Daily Review/CrikeyLuke BuckmasterKey duties are mirrored inside the story and out: a character trying to sell a mop and a star trying to clean up a slightly sloppy script. |
| Missoula IndependentMolly LaichJoy is not a very good movie, but the message is so salient and relevant that in spite of itself, it may manage to move audiences anyway. |
