Jennifer Lawrence will pick up the gun in this new trailer for Joy

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

JOY's story centers on a 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. Sounds like the perfect Christmas movie! Check out the new trailer for David O. Russell's latest!

Given the cast involved, JOY almost feels like more of the same from David O. Russell. I suppose that can go either way considering how much you enjoy his films, but there's something about this that is just not grabbing me. Maybe it's due to the fact that there's so much going on in December, that overshadows this one. Still, it looks like the kind of flick that will garner some obligatory Oscar nominations.

JOY will open in theaters on December 25, 2015.
