The Quick Analysis

Joy Ride is the spiritual successor to the madness, chaos, and charm of 2004’s Eurotrip. As four friends travel through China and beyond, the shenanigans are as outrageous as they are hilarious. Along the way, though, Joy Ride makes time for themes relating to friendship, honesty, confronting the past, and identity. You’ll laugh, then suddenly find yourself surprisingly moved. Maybe even seen and heard. A truly surprising and effective R-rated comedy.
