Joy Ride
When Audrey's business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the aid of Lolo, her irreverent, childhood best friend who also happens to be a hot mess; Kat, her college friend turned Chinese soap star; and Deadeye, 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.
Critics Sentiment
The group performs WAP pretending to be Korean idols
Chao cancels the deal and Audrey gets fired from job
The film peaks with the viral WAP performance then crashes when the business deal collapses and consequences set in
Joy Ride starts strong with brilliant raunchy comedy that has audiences cackling, particularly the opening scene and wild sequences like the cocaine train incident. The film reaches its absolute peak with the unforgettable WAP performance as fake K-pop idols, but then struggles in its final act as it shifts from pure comedy to dramatic consequences and emotional resolution that many felt didn't quite land.
