Joy Ride Movie Review

Did someone say road trip? Who doesn’t love a good-time road trip movie? Joy Ride has a great time with the genre while featuring a foursome of ladies not soon to be forgotten. The film is filled with those “I can’t believe they just did that” moments and pushes things to a hilarious extreme.

The setup is simple Audrey (Ashley Park) and Lolo (Sherry Cola) are lifelong friends, having known each other since a very young age. Audrey is an overachieving lawyer and Lolo is a free spirit and struggling artist. Together they are the classic odd couple.

When Audrey has to travel home to China to close a big deal she brings Lolo along and chaos ensues. The film pushes the boundaries and gloriously steps over the line time and time again. It makes you realise how conservative even shock comedies have become these days. This one really lets loose.

The two women pick up a few friends along the way and it’s great to see an almost all female cast get to step past the buddy comedy limits and show true friendship. That the film gets to indulge in such over-the-top antics just adds to the appeal.

The hilarious and unapologetically explicit story of identity and self-discovery centres on four unlikely friends who embark on a once-in-a-lifetime international adventure

When Audrey’s (Ashley Park) business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the aid of Lolo (Sherry Cola), her irreverent, childhood best friend who also happens to be a hot mess; Kat (Stephanie Hsu), her college friend turned Chinese soap star; and Deadeye (Sabrina Wu), Lolo’s eccentric cousin. Their no-holds-barred, epic experience becomes a journey of bonding, friendship, belonging, and wild debauchery that reveals the universal truth of what it means to know and love who you are.

Joy Ride is directed by Adele Lim and stars Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Oscar® nominated Stephanie Hsu, and Sabrina Wu. The film also stars Australians; Ronny Chieng, Desmond Chiam, Alexander Hodge, and Chris Pang. From the producers of Bad Neighbours and the co-screenwriter of Crazy Rich Asians.
