When Audrey's business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the help of Lolo, her childhood best friend, Kat, a college friend, and Deadeye, Lolo's eccentric cousin. Their epic, no-holds-barred 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 / Film synopsis

Joy Ride premiered at SXSW on March 17, 2023. It was theatrically released on July 7, 2023, by Lionsgate Films. It was originally scheduled to be released on June 23. The film was released for digital platforms on July 28, 2023, followed by a Blu-ray and DVD release on September 12, 2023.

Is the film based on a true story? Writer/director Lim tells TODAY.com that the story of Audrey, Lolo, Kat and Deadeye was loosely inspired by her own friends. She says all her friends did in their 20s was "hang out, go out partying and tell stories about our messy dating lives."

Parents need to know that Joy Ride is a crude, hilarious road movie with strong language, sexual humor, drinking, and drugs.

Joy Ride isn't afraid to shock with its gross-out gags, but this road trip's real surprise is how successfully it blends its raunchy humor with real heart.

It was released in the United States on October 5, 2001, and in the UK under the title Road Kill on April 26, 2002, and in Australia as Roadkill. The alternate titles were because of the negative connotations of “joy rides” as stealing cars rather than fun roadtrips.

Audrey needed to come to terms with who she was, how it's shaped her, and letting go of the need to be perfect to be accepted. Audrey was not as comfortable with her identity the way Lolo and Kat were, but by the end of Joy Ride she shed preconceived notions about her background and embraced who she was, flaws and all.

- Rated R for strong and crude sexual content, language throughout, drug content and brief graphic nudity.

Wong says, “Making 'Joy Ride' work in Vancouver as China, Seoul and Paris was very challenging because Vancouver doesn't look like any of those places. It took everybody getting on board, putting our heads together and finding the right locations.”

It is a wonderful story that should have received better reviews. I can understand why it wasn't a box office hit but it is definitely worth watching.

If you want some intense love story, Ao Haru Ride or its English name Blue Spring Ride is the right choice. Story move fast and our heart simultaneously beating with the character. I hope it will be season 2 which is will be the final season I guess.

Joy Ride 2 certainly doesn't live up to the first one, but it's still a bone-chilling and entertaining ride. Content collapsed. I really liked it, good wrong turn style movies, 10/10.
