Viewing Notes
A fun, over-the-top melodrama with sly self-references and crazy, bombastic characters. Joy’s family is brilliantly neurotic with some standout performances by Isabella Rosselini and Robert De Niro. This is the kind of movie David O. Selznick would’ve produced back in the golden age of Hollywood and it would have starred Hepburn and Grant.
