When I say Joy Ride is the kind of movie that has the potential to leave you screaming, crying and throwing up, I mean it. The comedy from writer/director Adele Lim (who co-wrote Crazy Rich Asians) is an unapologetic, wonderful, and unique road trip comedy that’s full of heart and humor. With the four fully committed performances from Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu and Sabrina Wu and a simultaneously heartfelt and raunchy script, this is the kind of movie that made me laugh until I cried and left me with my jaw on the floor. It also had me beaming with joy from the first frames to the moment the credits started to roll.
