Vier Freundinnen. Ein Trip. Kein Glück.
Die Anwältin Audrey soll in China einen großen Deal unter Dach und Fach bringen. Nur spricht sie kaum die Sprache und muss deshalb zu drastischen Mitteln greifen: Lolo, ihre beste Freundin seit die beiden Kinder waren, soll als Übersetzerin fungieren. Drastisch ist das, weil Lolo als unkonventioneller Freigeist einfach nicht gut mit Regeln kann und will. Also braucht es noch mehr Support, weshalb Lolos Cousine Deadeye eingeflogen und kurzerhand auch noch die alte College-Freundin Kat eingesackt wird. Damit ist Chaos programmiert und der Deal steht auf der Kippe.

So many back-to-back laughs—our screening was having a blast! Hilarious performances, great ensemble, and some stealth feels that had a number of people sniffling and crying. Go see it, in a theatre, and bring friends because a crowd only enhances the fun!
Like an Asian Bridesmaid. Laugh out loud funny and crass.
Yes please! Great cast, great setting and a decent script. Finally we have a leading lady movie with this kind of humor!
We loved this movie. It was hilarious and made us laugh so hard we cried. Then we cried some more. And their "K-Pop" song had us rolling.
Humor is generally a matter of personal taste, but at least for me, "Joy Ride" worked really well. The R-rating is really utilized here, and in terms of tone, comparisons with the Hangover films certainly come to mind. But the difference here is that women are primarily in charge, both in front of and behind the camera. And I believe it's evident in the script in a number of places, which I can only applaud. More female voices, especially in the comedy genre, can only ensure more diversity. Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu, and Sabrina Wu star as the film's leads. And, despite the fact that I wasn't familiar with all of them beforehand, they are completely convincing here. They all have no trouble delivering the humor, which is aimed well below the belt. The only thing I would accuse "Joy Ride" of is that it becomes a bit formulaic towards the end. The resolution is predictable and certainly the weakest part of the film. Overall, though, it's still a really strong, raunchy comedy. It's a shame that the film flopped at the box office. I wouldn't have minded seeing more films featuring these entertaining characters.
