JOY (installment number three of a film-series where we're not supposed to notice that the director of SPANKING THE MONKEY keeps inexplicably casting Jennifer Lawrence as middle-aged mother/nurturer figures) should stop playing cute and just own the fact that it's about the invention and maketing of

barely looks better than AMERICAN HUSTLE - and AMERICAN HUSTLE was fucking terrible.
