Joy - Everything but Ordinary (Original title: Joy ) is an American biopic from 2015 . Directed by David O. Russell , who also wrote the script with Annie Mumolo . The tragic comedy tells the success story of Joy Mangano over four stations , who becomes one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the United States. The premiere in US cinemas took place on December 25, 2015. The film launch in Germany was on December 31, 2015 and in Austria on January 1, 2016.

action

At the beginning of the film, Joy Mangano works at the Long Beach Airport, taking care of her family. Her father Rudy separates from his girlfriend and moves back into the basement of Joy's house, where her ex-husband Tony also lives. Joy's mother, who takes refuge in soap operas and hardly ever leaves her bed, Joy's children and her grandmother also live in the house .

The young woman has long since said goodbye to the dreams and inventiveness of her childhood, which she is increasingly aware of. When she had the idea for a new mop that would make the annoying wringing out by hand superfluous, she stubbornly pursued the realization of her invention. Joy receives a loan from her father's new friend, the wealthy entrepreneur widow Trudy. On the advice of Trudy's lawyer and her family, Joy pays a patent fee to a Texas entrepreneur because a similar mop is said to be already patented. The entrepreneur also becomes the producer of the parts required for the new mop. Critical inquiries from Tony whether such a situation is common are turned off by Joy's family.

After completing the “Miracle Mop”, Joy came across the teleshopping channel QVC while looking for sales opportunities . The station boss Neil Walker takes Joy's mop into the program and she has 50,000 copies pre-produced for it. To cover the cost, Joy has to take out a second mortgage on her house. The television presentation by an unmotivated salesperson turns into a disaster. Joy then persuades Neil to be able to present the mop himself on television again. The product becomes a bestseller.

But only a short time later, Joy had to take several setbacks. Her grandmother dies, and other business problems ensue. The producer of her mop keeps sending inflated bills, which Joy's half-sister pays without her permission. Joy travels to California to speak to the production manager. In the factory she discovers that an attempt is being made here to steal her patent. The production manager has Joy arrested for trespassing. It turns out that Trudy's attorney is barely familiar with patent law and that Joy's back payments made by her sister mean that there is virtually no possibility of taking legal action against the infringement of her patent.

Her family is pushing her to file for bankruptcy. But afterwards Joy discovers that the Texas entrepreneur cheated on her from the start. The existing patent on another mop bears no resemblance to her own and the inventor of the other mop is also unaware that Joy has paid a patent fee. She confronts the entrepreneur in Texas and obtains a repayment plus interest and the return of her plans and forms. Joy walks down the street triumphantly and the film shows her future as a successful entrepreneur.
