JOY is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty 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.

The trio of DeNiro, JLaw and Cooper appear in this movie, however they didn't play off one another as well as in previous movies. At times, all three were frustrating to watch. Cooper seemed to be just an add-on, DeNiro was emotionally absent and JLaw seemed submissive. None of these folks seemed to play up to their reputations.

In my younger days, I remember going to the movies to see the films. By watching the three movie set, I was able to enjoy the movies and remember my youth at the same time.

The movie offers an interesting premise about the future and time. however, there are some unanswered questions. Primarily, does Cooper return to find Brand? Are Cooper and Brand the new Adam and Eve? Do humans of the future, who spawn from the embryos left to the care of Brand, develop the worm hole? Are these questions to be answered in a sequel?

This movie is much Darker than the previous two. It is Darker, both in terms of lighting on the sets, but also in terms of the plot. The acting seemed to be less fulfilling as the previous two movies. The Blu-Ray disk comes Dolby Atmos format for the audio portion. I have an older Home Theater system which did not support the Atmos format. As a result, I could not enjoy Surround Sound. I did a work around and changed my Audio output on my Blu-Ray player to "Bitstream." Once I did that, I could enjoy Surround Sound.
