‘Joy’ Trailer: Jennifer Lawrence Shines In Her Latest Team-Up With David O. Russell

Watch the Joy trailer after the jump.
Russell and screenwriter Annie Mumolo (Bridesmaids) have given Lawrence a meaty role to sink her teeth into, and it looks like she really tears into it. Most actors would be rightfully anxious about exiting two long-running, lucrative franchises (The Hunger Games and X-Men) at the same time, but something tells me Lawrence will be just fine. My only quibble with her performance in Joy — or rather, what we can see of it in the trailer — is the same quibble I had with her work in Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle: namely, that she looks too young for the part. That’s not a knock on Lawrence, but it’s a minor distraction all the same.
Joy arrives December 25 in theaters.
