I’d seen ads for JOY RIDE but I’m surprised Hsu’s name wasn’t mentioned in any I saw given that she was just an Oscar nominee!
Also it’s nice to see that Chevapravatdumrong has moved into features; I loved her YA novel SHE’S SO MONEY when i was a teen and her Family Guy episodes include some of the best.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun JOY RIDE was with an all-around charming cast (Sabrina Wu's Deadeye is brilliant), great jokes, and a cultural angle that didn't seem forced and cringe even for a second. More of the same, please. We need genuine comedies like this.
I was at a 9:00 AM TIFF screening of a previous Joy Ride on September 11th, 2001.
That must’ve been wild!
Certainly emerged into a different reality.
I was just on IMDB wondering why JT Walsh wasn't listed in the credits...and then I realized that movie is Breakdown with Kurt Russell!
