Review of Joy (2015) by Yosemite — 03 Feb 2016

Good casting but the dysfunctional , eccentric father role played twice a year by Di Nero is getting old. Lawrence and Cooper always good as was Virginia Madsen (didn't recognize her). Nice story about never taking no for an answer, believing in yourself , rags to riches, etc.

, etc., but it got me wondering how much dramatic license the film makers took. Was Joy Mangano really like that, nice,decent,ambitious woman or in real life, was she obsessed, self involved and irresponsible in her parental duties.
