From the producers of Neighbors and the co-screenwriter of Crazy Rich Asians, JOY RIDE stars Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Oscar® nominee Stephanie Hsu, and Sabrina Wu. The hilarious and unapologetically explicit story of identity and self-discovery centers 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 Review

‘Joy Ride’ is filled with raunchy jokes, laugh-out-loud moments, and a heartfelt story. Amidst the raunchy jokes about sex and drugs, ‘Joy Ride’ also serves up an emotional story about friendship and self discoveryBased on the red band trailer for ‘Joy Ride,’ one may go into this movie thinking it’s a comedy in the same vein as moviefone.com/movie/the-hangover/35061/main/">‘The Hangover,’‘Bridesmaids,’ or ‘Girls Trip.’ The film has plenty of hilarious and shocking moments, but at its core, it is about the strength of friendship and the journey of self-discovery.

This movie will have audiences laughing out loud and crying their eyes out, all at the same time.
