Yes.  Sounds like something I'd enjoy, by the way Terrier described it.  Wish Bradley had a bigger role, tho !

My question is would it be such a great movie if they hired a more homely looking actor to play Joy? Joy is not attractive, and looks nothing like Jennifer Lawrence.

She's NOT doing an "impression" of Joy...it's not like a movie about Jackie & JFK where they make the actors alter their appearance to resemble the person being portrayed.

Joy's rags to riches story is the basis on the movie - not a strict recreation of her persona.

Let's see, a movie about a woman who sells mops & hangers.  WOW.  Can't think of a worse way to waste 2 hours.  Why on earth would anyone find this entertaining.

Those who enjoy movies with very little substance.

I would like to see it, if someone else was playing Joy.  I am sure her story is interesting.  I will watch 20/20.  She has great ideas.  I love her sheet system and her readers.  She can be over the top with her presentations but she is good at what she does.  I have not heard of anyone else on a shopping channel having a movie based on them.  I am very impressed that Robert DeNiro is in the movie.  Don't get much bigger than Rober DeNiro.This alone is impressive.

Not surprising.

This movie received only 58% on Rotten Tomatoes.  That's pretty bad.  Even "Krampus" and "Sisters" tallied higher percentages.

@Desertdi@PamfromCT, I cannot even fathom a 42,000 square foot home.

I would guess she also has an army of maids................

With really great and handy mops . . .

And I'd be happy with one.

I'll be honest, those spin mops are the bomb and I wish Joy all of the success she has achieved . . . she worked hard to get where she is and I applaud the fact that she never stopped no matter what.

Do I watch her on TV?  No I don't but I still wish her all the success in the world including with this movie.  She didn't get a 42,000 square foot house without grit and hustle and I am happy for her.

You're right about that, mtc!

I'd like to see this movie. I admire her for what she has done, so this movie would be interesting to me.

Joy Mangano is a divorced mother of three.

Reportedly she is worth $50 million, worked hard and earned it on her own.

Good for her.

I just watched it tonight. I thought it was great. It was the best movie I've seen in a long time.
