[QUOTE="Toni, post: 163005, member: 82"] I finally got to watch "Joy", which turned out to be a much better film than I expected. Of course, one of my main reasons was to see our dear Donna Mills playing an actress who plays in a daytime soap opera. It´s truly a feel-good movie at the end and fortunately, Jennifer Lawrence didn´t ruin it this time with her over-acting and pouting. Bradley Cooper (yes, again in a movie with her...) just appears in a few scenes and actually looks quite flipped out. The supporting cast is top notch: a very handsome Edgar Ramírez as her ex-husband, a wonderful Diane Ladd as her grandma, Robert de Niro (light-years away from "Meet the Fockers") as her father, and a wonderfully bitchy Isabella Rossellini as the latter´s umpteenth wife.
