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.

Overall I would say that it's probably best left for 16+ unless your kid is super mature about sex and you're okay with them watching and hearing the things in this movie. This title has: Great messages.

Joy Ride is a comedy about four girls who take an unplanned trip. The movie has a solid plot that doesn't rely on just the comedy to get things going.

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.

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.”

Joy Ride / Film synopsis

In June 2021, Charlie Reid was cast in the film after a casting search involving "1,500 applicants". As of 17 July 2021, Colman was spotted shooting scenes for the film in County Kerry, Ireland.

Fresh takes, classic gags, and excellent performances from its leads elevate an occasionally clunky and very packed script into something well worth watching.

In the first ending Lewis is able to break the board that is supporting the truck and it comes crashing down on top of Rusty Nail. In the second ending, Venna is able to get out of the chair. She shoots Rusty Nail with the shotgun as he is trying to pull Lewis under the truck.

Movie Info

Synopsis JOYRIDE follows 12-year-old Mully (Charlie Reid), who, after fleeing his father, steals a taxi and is shocked to find a woman, Joy (Olivia Colman), in the back seat with a baby.

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.

The taste is really good. I like the variety of flavors. It satisfies that sweet tooth while still loosing weight. The price could stand to be less however or the size of the bag needs to be bigger.

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.
