QuoteJOY is the wild true story of Joy Mangano and her Italian-American family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty by inventing the Miracle Mop and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy's inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces. Jennifer Lawrence stars, with Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, Edgar Ramirez, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Ladd, and Virginia Madsen. Like David O. Russell's previous films, Joy defies genre to tell a story of family, loyalty, and love.
- Jennifer Lawrence as Joy
- Robet De Niro as Rudy, Joy's father
- Edgar Ramírez as Tony, Joy's ex-husband
- Bradley Cooper as Neil Walker
- Diane Ladd as Mimi, Joy's grandmother
- Virgnia Madsen as Terry, Joy's mother
- Isabella Rossellini as Trudy, Joy's financier and Rudy's girlfriend
- Elisabeth Rohm as Peggy, Joy'half-sister
So I just saw the movie and I loved it, it's really good and it's very typical David O. Russell. I highly recommend it!
My problem is ... Why the hell is Bradley Cooper's name in the poster and not Edgar Ramirez's? Bradley has probably around 10 minutes or less of screentime and plays kind of a small role compared to Edgar who has a far bigger role o.O
