Contents

Joy received a theatrical release on December 25, 2015, by 20th Century Fox. The film grossed $101 million worldwide, and received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Lawrence's performance, but criticism for the writing and pacing of the film.

Joy earned Lawrence the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical, in addition to nominations for the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Actress and the Academy Award for Best Actress, with the latter making the 25-year-old the youngest person in history to receive four Academy Award nominations. [4] The film also received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.

Plot

In 1990, Joy Mangano, an airline booking agent residing in Peconic, New York, struggles financially while juggling a complicated family life. Living with Joy are her two children and her single mother, Terri, who spends all day in bed watching soap operas, her maternal grandmother, Mimi, and her under-employed ex-husband, Tony, a wannabe singer who sleeps in the basement.

Joy's overachieving paternal half-sister, Peggy, constantly humiliates her in front of her children for her failed marriage. Joy's father, Rudy, further complicates matters when he also moves into the basement after his third divorce.

Mimi and Joy's best friend, Jackie, encourage Joy to pursue her inventing ambitions. Frustrated when using a conventional mop, she designs and builds an innovative self-wringing type. Trudy, a wealthy Italian widow Rudy is dating, agrees to invest in Joy's product. They contract a California company to manufacture the mop's parts at a low price.

To avoid a potential patent lawsuit, the company advises Joy to pay $50,000 in royalties to a man in Hong Kong who has a similar product. When the manufacturer repeatedly bills Joy to remake their faulty parts, she refuses to pay.

Joy meets QVC executive Neil Walker, who agrees to sell her mops on TV. To manufacture 50,000 additional units, she takes out a second home mortgage. When the first TV attempt fails after the celebrity pitchman improperly demonstrates the product, Joy demands she be allowed to do a second infomercial. The mop sells out, earning thousands of dollars; her success is soon tempered by Mimi's sudden death.

Joy's fledgling business is financially jeopardized after Peggy pays the manufacturer's excessive overcharges without Joy's approval. The manufacturer refuses to refund the money, and a contract loophole allows them to fraudulently patent Joy's mop design as their own.

Shortly after filing for bankruptcy, Joy discovers there never was a similar product in Hong Kong, and the manufacturer has defrauded her. She confronts owner Derek Markham, forcing him to refund the overcharges, pay damages, and relinquish any claim to her patent or else face criminal charges.

Joy becomes a successful independent businesswoman who sponsors other inventors. Jackie and Tony are her most valued advisers. Joy supports her aging father, despite his and Peggy's unsuccessful lawsuit for ownership of her company. Only Terri is independent, having found stability with Toussaint, a Haitian plumber Joy once hired. As Neil predicted, he and Joy became "adversaries in commerce" with her move to HSN, but they remain personal friends.

Writing and casting

In January 2014, it was announced that David O. Russell's upcoming project would entail rewriting and directing a drama film about American inventor and entrepreneur Joy Mangano, a struggling Long Island single mom of three children. [5] Russell set Jennifer Lawrence to play the lead role in the film, which John Davis and John Fox produced for Davis Entertainment, along with Ken Mok, with 20th Century Fox holding the distribution rights. [5] In early November 2014, Russell said it was "a great opportunity to do something neither Jennifer nor I have done [before]". He also stated that he would like to cast Robert De Niro and create a role for Bradley Cooper to star in the film. [17] On November 11, it was reported that De Niro was in final talks to re-team with Russell and Lawrence in the film, to play Mangano's father. [18] They worked together in the 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook , and then De Niro made a cameo in 2013's American Hustle . [7] Russell rewrote the script by Annie Mumolo. [7] On November 17, De Niro confirmed his casting, saying "Yes I am going to do something with them. I am going to play a father." [7] In early December 2014, Cooper was officially set to star along with Lawrence, playing an executive at QVC who helps Joy by giving the Miracle Mop a boost. [8] On December 8, Édgar Ramírez was cast as Tony Miranda, Joy's now ex-husband. [9] Additional cast members, including Isabella Rossellini, Diane Ladd, and Virginia Madsen in unspecified roles, were revealed on February 17, 2015. [10] Isabella Crovetti-Cramp played young Joy. [6] In February, another working title was revealed, which was Kay's Baptism. [19] Elisabeth Röhm's casting as Peggy, sister of Joy Mangano, was revealed on February 27, 2015. [13]

Filming

Principal photography began in February 2015, after De Niro completed the shooting of Dirty Grandpa . [7] Filming was originally set to begin on February 9, 2015, in Boston, Massachusetts, making this Russell's third film shot in the area. [20] [21] Due to snow in the city, filming was rescheduled to begin on February 19, on Federal Street in Wilmington, Massachusetts, lasting through February 26, [22] [23] but principal photography on the film began in Boston on February 16, 2015. [10] [24] [25]

In Wilmington, filming lasted until February 26, 2015. [26] On February 27, 2015, Lawrence made a Facebook post denying the rumors about her clashes with Russell on the set of the film, saying, "David O. Russell is one of my closest friends and we have an amazing collaborative working relationship. I adore this man and he does not deserve this tabloid malarkey. This movie is going great and I'm having a blast making it!" [27] After wrapping up in Wilmington, the production moved to North Reading, where shooting took place March 2–4, 2015 [19] and on March 11 and 12. [28]
