Damn, every trailer that gets released of “Joy Ride” makes me want to watch “Joy Ride” even more, which, well done marketing team I guess. But really, well done Adele Lim. The screenwriter behind “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Raya and the Last Dragon” makes her directorial debut with the ensemble girls trip comedy. While comparisons abound, it’s already abundantly clear the film is more than just “The Hangover” but make it Asian chicks. Instead of using a literal hangover as its narrative force to tell the story of dudes gone wild, “Joy Ride” follows an Asian-American woman’s search for her cultural roots, while also drinking too much and hiding drugs in bodily orifices. Now that’s what I call a win-win-win. Joy to the world and all that.
