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.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk In spite of some moments of heart and emotional heft, it always feels it’s working too hard at brash, brassy feminist representation. Rated: 2/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The humour is crude, ribald and deliciously unsavoury – everything you could hope for, in fact. Rated: 4/5 Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Hsu and Cola balance the mania well against Park’s straight woman sincerity, but it’s Wu, a rising star on the standup scene, who serves as Joy Ride’s surprise MVP. Rated: 4/5 Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Jericho Tadeo The Asian Cut Hilarious, heartfelt, and horny Rated: 9/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Dana Barbuto Boston Movie News Prepare to laugh out loud for 95 minutes. Rated: B+ Jul 7, 2024 Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies Epic and no-holds-barred levels of hilarity, whilst also being moving and heartfelt...
