Jul 15, 2015 2:19 PM UTC  20th Century Fox  by [Eliza Berman](https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/)  ## Eliza Berman Berman is a senior editor at TIME. Jul 15, 2015 2:19 PM UTC With the exception of the [critical flop _Serena_](http://time.com/3761242/serena-movie-jennifer-lawrence-bradley-cooper/), the combination of Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper usually spells good things on the silver screen. Add to the mix David O. Russell, who directed the pair in _Silver Linings Playbook_ and _American Hustle_—which earned a combined 18 Oscar nominations—and it’s worth paying attention. Though you wouldn’t know it from trailer, which plays like a montage of a life going rapidly awry, _Joy_ tells the story of real-life single mother and Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano, played by Lawrence. Cooper stars opposite Lawrence as an executive at the Home Shopping Network, which ultimately buys Mangano’s company. The trailer has Joy getting thrown behind bars, getting very angry very often and shooting a shotgun, proving there’s drama aplenty wherever you look—even in the invention and sale of home cleaning products. Co-starring Robert de Niro, Diane Ladd, Virginia Madsen and Isabella Rossellini, _Joy_ hits theaters on Christmas Day. ### See Jennifer Lawrence in Exclusive Hunger Games Portraits  Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen Tim Palen  Jena Malone as Johanna Mason Tim Palen  Willow Shields as Primrose Everdeen and Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen Tim Palen  Natalie Dormer as Cressida and Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne Tim Palen  Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy Tim Palen  Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket Tim Palen  Sam Claflin as Finnick Odair Tim Palen  Natalie Dormer as Cressida Tim Palen ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3958544/joy-trailer-jennifer-lawrence-bradley-cooper/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3958544/joy-trailer-jennifer-lawrence-bradley-cooper/"},"headline":"Watch Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper Reunite in the Trailer for Joy","datePublished":"2015-07-15T14:19:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:47:15.723Z","description":"\"Don’t ever think that the world owes you anything.
