Joy Ride (2023)
Directed by Adele Lim
When Audrey's business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the aid of Lolo, her irreverent, childhood best friend who also happens to be a hot mess; Kat, her college friend turned Chinese soap star; and Deadeye, 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.

What critics compared Joy Ride to
The idea of a wacked-out truck driver who menaces a motorist or two is hardly new: Steven Spielberg treated the idea brilliantly in his 1971 ABC telefilm, and Victor Salva got good mileage out of the concept in the first part of the recent “Jeepers Creepers” (though that movie fell apart in the later stages).
