What else to know about Joy Ride
Here is the official synopsis for Joy Ride:
"The hilarious and unapologetically explicit story of identity and self-discovery centers on four unlikely friends who embark on a once-in-a-lifetime international adventure. 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."
Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu and Sabrina Wu star as the main quartet in the movie, which was directed by Adele Lim.
